Worrying? Depressing? Why are people who are clearly enthusiasts (since they are testing the capabilities on release) always using these words? Is this a genuine interest, something that is pleasurable, or a morbid curiosity to test the bleeding edge of Humanity’s Doom? Bizarre.
It would be amazing in a perfect and just world. This technology is revolutionary. I'm very interested in LLM's because I'm personally interested in how one thinks better and comes up with better ideas - I think LLM's might elucidate some structure on that.
But technological serfdom is waiting just around the corner. Well, to be fair, I think that societal forces would've pushed us to it anyways, no AI needed, but AI is a visceral, immediate, fast-moving instantiation of it.
Telling and expected.
