    This is different. AI as a transformative tech is going to usher the US economy into the next boom of prosperity. The AI revolution will change the world and allow people to decide if they want to work for money or not (read UBI). In case you haven’t caught on, am being sarcastic.

    All this despite ChatGPT being a total complete joke.

      Honestly couldn’t tell if you were being sarcastic or not because Poes law.

      If all the wealth created by these sorts of things didn’t funnel up to the 0.01% then yeah. It could usher in economic changes that help bring about greater prosperity in the same way mechanical automation should have.

      This was a case where you needed the sarcasm tag. Up to then, it was a totally “reasonable” comment from an AI bro.

      BTW, plug “crypto” in to your comment for AI, and it’s a totally normal statement from 2020/21. It’s such a similar VC grift.

      So, I feel taking an .epub and putting it in a .zip is pretty transformative.

      Also you can make ChatGPT (or Copilot) print out quotes with a bit of effort, now that it has Internet.

      disagree, ai will absolutely exceedingly amplify the stranglehold of the capital class.

      we already have the technology to give everyone better lives but we don’t. the speed and efficiency at prediction, data processing, and control of ai will erase the collective power that people have.

      openai started as nonprofit and look at them now.

      It sounds like a completely sincere Marc Andressen post to me.
