Just a wet dream of a sleepy old European... How should this work?

How many km?

This is called iatrogenesis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iatrogenesis

We humans tend to believe doing sth is superior to doing nothing.

While nothing is actually not nothing. Nature is actually pretty good in self-healing.

What is "somewhere else" for you? (Besides distribution and money)

Can you explain more about it? What are the physical limitations?

Man I had to read twice. Wondered what an "alcoholic fox" is...

Emphasis on "so far"

That's the big question, how prices evolve if LLMs increase supply. Standard economic theory says that prices must collapse. There is probably still a short time of 2-5 years where AI native firms can pocket in quite some arbitrage but I guess markets will eventually figure it out and prices will collapse. This is not only for law. The same applies to all the other industries where LLMs can be used to automate work tasks.

That's a problem if you live in a country with politically illiterate voters. That's why education is so important in democracies so people don't fall for such crap

Tell us more about this experience. Very interesting!

Interesting question. What is work? Is playing with your children work? Is talking to elderly people work? I think a lot of things we have outsourced to "professionals" is considered work now and was considered "just normal life" before.

> It's reasonable to assume that if AI drop-in-replaced all those knowledge workers, AI companies could credibly charge somewhere in that order of magnitude, because that's what the market is already bearing.

Future supply and demand will set the price - not what is paid today. If supply by open models is vast and cheap, I can't see that the entire knowledge industry can hold the current size. It'll rather collapse to a fraction of its current value.

Wtf. How come you ended up in such a compound?

Interesting. Any evidence that intelligence stops being useful? Why do you believe this is this a bounded resource.

This. Unprecedented concentration of assets in the hand of very few tech companies. These companies will control the access to the technology and the plebs are left out at the gates.

Very common fallacy: Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence!

> While unlikely, we cannot rule out that de-identified data derived from their usage of our products helped improve our models .

Wow. That sounds like an admission of guilt.

Super creepy. Reviewing the trailers and other interviews, I actually get the same vibes as from Sam Altman. Almost exactly same voice. The way they look and try to be handsome and nice while straightly telling lies to your face... Scary stuff.

Read the entire thing and am unsure what the takeaway should be...

The only moat lives at the Pareto frontier. If you are on the Pareto frontier you are good and can charge money. But the frontier is moving every week so it's super competitive. If you are the quickest innovator, I still believe there is a chance for a working business model for them

I guess the problem is that we humans can believe in contradicting values at the same time.

Probably because we waste years and years of our lifes chasing these things instead of being present and enjoying life as it is?

What we yearn for is probably rather the social aspect of hunter gatherer life plus the proximity to nature rather than the technological. Wondering if there any life designs that work to bring both things together?

Haha. That was a funny juxtaposition.

I feel the issue we experience in the modern world that it just feels unnatural and alienating to be surrounded by thousands and thousands of people we don't know at all and who don't know us. In a small tribe you have the comfort of knowing everyone around you fairly well. The modern world is so anonymous.
