In any case, the economics of a doomsday device are probably quite unique.., though economic impact as a proxy for intelligence and intelligence as proxy for likelihood-of-annihilating for some bands is probably a fair way to approximate here…
dude is a Ph.D in ML and is leading pipeline development efforts in an ML org
Honest question, what are average joes supposed to do? We have no control here. This incessant messaging is going to inspire genuine chaos. What are young adults and parents of young kids supposed to do other than panic?
We’ve abandoned religion and adopted tech consumerism as our new pseudo religion. Is Kubrick our prophet, and 2001 our prophesy?
if you needed to GTFO out of wherever you are because it's going to hell, where will you go and how will you get there?
if service-jobs vanish tomorrow what can you make or do?
I know two guys who quit STEM after COVID to run a coffee shop, and I wonder if they're just ahead of the curve.
if you're panicing you've lost. make a plan, you have the time and capacity. hell, AI is still free and could help.
I can’t imagine coffee making is preparing them in any way, so are you just looking at it from a psychological angle?
the STEM guys I referred to burnt out hard but had the money, gumpstion, and ties to the community to say fuck it, let's buy out this coffee shop and make it work.
I gather it's been a hard go for them -- post-COVID business recovery is rough -- but now they're making it work.
meanwhile most of the posters here will be starting back at square one in < 5 years while the coffee shop guys will be opening their second location...

Oh and restaurant menus are fugly now.
Just say that you need the IPO money to build yourself a bunker.
If it was a true danger, then instead you would have supported pausing AI and an international governing body to halt the development globally (including China) right now.
But you didn't. Because someone needs to complete their grift first before dumping shares on retail investors.
Sigh, no explanation of how this would occur (even after multiple questions on that thread).
It's starting to sound like hot air and frankly tiresome. I want data worksheets.
