The big impact that A.I. will have - is currently having - isn't so much in the big ticket claims that the Altman's of the world make to justify the billions in development but the affect it's going to have on everyday people, on us.
There is a growing vocal minority who believe the emperor truly has no clothes, that this is a bubble, a dead end, and a waste of resources. From some perspectives they're right - it's certainly a bubble that will eventually pop and take a lot of overleveraged people with it. The fact that they are making unlikely claims that they haven't shown any evidence of being able to achieve though is overshadowing what has already been achieved. This technology is still so new it sparkles and moving at an incredible pace - there are breakthrough implementations still to be discovered using just what is available now. This is society disrupting tech and no-amount of nay-saying is likely to change that; it's up to us to work out whether it will be society uplifting tech, or another step towards a greater corporate dystopia.
Appreciate the kind words, Nicholas! And I definitely agree with your point about this being society disrupting tech, regardless of what happens with the oligopoly. I alternate between mostly positive and mostly negative expectations for us on a societal level - but I'm convinced that the more people who have informed access, the better off we'll be in the long run. I appreciate your work to help keep people informed and ask the hard questions that need to be asked.
Well done mate, you do great work, keep it up!!
