@dgerard
Sam Altman is in the singularity, in that he is now convinced LLMs are smarter than him, he doesn't understand the tech or how it is evolving, and he doesn't know what's going to happen next.

The rest of us are not in his exact predicament. I was going to say we're fine, but nah.

Day 3 after the singularity. Rate of change still the same, no warnings about light cones, and openAI still didnt make trillions of dollars.

Worst. Singularity. Ever.

The existence of light cones implies the existence of full-cream cones

@Soyweiser @dgerard You can't get all of the shiny cyberpunk over-the-top special effects when you syphoned the budget into the stockholders' debauchery fund.

@Soyweiser @dgerard

What if Musk is the financial singularity?

First he's a trillionaire, next year he has 2 trillion, the year after that 4 trillion, and so on, until he owns more dollars than have ever existed, at which point the US treasury collapses into a black hole and is never seen again.

If there’s a singularity here, it’s that OpenAI is a black hole that all the money falls into. And you’ll never see it again.

I truly cannot tell which of them are in religious psychosis and which of them are shameless liars

Yea.... OK can it still count the R's in strawberry? Or Xs in October? Or have a timer for a mile run?

This technology is a joke

The seahorse emoji remains my favorite for showing how LLMs are completely incapable of handling obviously false information in their training data.

The true Tech Singularity foretold by prophecy is that all Tech Bro Billionaires will become hopelessly single.

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
