I asked it to solve an algebra problem which had taken me 10 handwritten pages. I was impressed until the third line when it clearly doesn’t know how to cross-multiply fractions.

You know
Corporate Heirachries seem to attract a very specific type of person
and maybe that's bad

That's... not probable at all.

Every boss I've ever had (that i was close enough to talk to) has proudly said "this is not a democracy" in my time at their company.

I would say it’s more like it reads it and writes it down and has access to all of that when answering questions. But you’re correct, if it is solving novel questions, then I totally agree. I havent seen that myself yet but have not looked into it that closely. Do you have examples of it solving novel questions? I’d love to see that.

I once worked with a boss who said about the job, this is a dictatorship not a democracy, and he wasn't really joking.

He should have said it was a Taylor Swift quote.

> they have no democratic control over their authoritarian workplaces
I can leave at any time I want, I can choose where I work

It’s nice when you have a good Union. I’ve worked places with shitty Unions too, which was almost as bad as not having one.
That said, working for a good company helps too.

You mean like your long-term memory? To be clear, GPT doesn’t have the raw training information available for reference. In a sense, it read it during training, extracted the useful information, and is now using it.
If it’s answering totally novel reasoning questions, that’s a pretty clear indication that it’s gone beyond just modeling syntax and grammar.

Nah, I got a pretty good Union and my company is pretty generous anyway (free health insurance, unlimited sick days, optional Friday “work from home”days, performance based bonuses, etc.)
I know this isn’t necessarily the case for everyone tho.

AI arms race, which is 100% about money and greed. Morality and ethics slow things down. Regulations slow things down. Wall Street and investors are watching for a prospective winner to bet big on. Tech is stale, old news. They need the next big win.
AI domination is going to be "first past the post" and all these companies know it. We're going to hear all kinds of BS about how they're trying to be ethical/etc but they really want to be first and snap up lucrative deals with their protected IP. What was open will stop being open very quickly once a public tech demo like this gets attention, and be strictly protected for that reason.

It's almost like narcissistic people are often put into positions of power, especially in the tech industry, and like 1% of the time, something wonderful like this happens, they out themselves, and things can be set right lol

That's such a weird way of putting it.
I think more Americans realize how post-democracy we are than you think.
And our "authoritarian workplaces" are a shitty example. How about the fact that our government just took away abortion rights that almost everybody wants, that climate change is ignored despite the majority wanting it addressed, or the fact that large companies get to dump waste, steal wages, predate on lenders, and rig prices with impunity?
FFS everybody stop making fascism about PERSONAL FAILINGS of such and such a population. The rise and fall of authoritarianism is a force of history, and we have to fight it for what it is, not what makes it easy for us to pigeonhole and redirect so we don't feel any personal responsibility to act.

And so did Dwight from the office. Literally, there’s an episode where Jim gives him talking points and they’re speeches from Benito Mussolini

Was he quoting in support or against though?
I like to quote Trump. Do you think I support Mango Mussolini now?

Yeah, and you can leave. Obviously a company isn't a democracy, if you think it should be you are delusional
