I think most people correctly intuit that this is actually a type of very pernicious fraud.
Stock at FAANG is basically equivalent to cash. You can sell it as soon as you get it.
Do you have actual evidence for this astonishing take? Because I'm sure the entire field would be entranced by your genius here. It's actually completely UN-clear what the limits to LLMs are and it's completely ridiculous to say otherwise.
>starting from the actual point of disagreement is probably a better play
Fundamentally most e/accs or other anti-doom stans believe that AGI/ASI are actually impossible, that nothing can be smarter than humans and that human brains constitute special magic meat. Almost all of their other wrong beliefs stem from those.
Apparently you haven't worked with many humans...
The amount of people who dismiss doom risk with some version of "I'm not smart enough to imagine what something far smarter than me might be capable of" is staggering. "I can't imagine how nanobots might work therefore they must be impossible."
>Then, suppose AI does somehow think itself into effecting human annihilation, what happens when all the humans are dead? At the current state of things, all electricity production on the planet goes dark in maybe two weeks. Nuke plants irradiate significant parts of the earth, chip fabs are bricked, metal production is toast. In short the AI necessarily dies too.
Smart enough to eradicate humanity but not smart enough to plan ahead to keep itself running. Ok buddy.
>The only way for this not to happen is AI controlled robots first gaining complete control of massive chunks of the economy. If AI is as useless as the article claims then that will effectively never happen.
"AI hasn't taken over large parts of the economy, therefore it never will." I really just can't even...
I doubt you can find any serious Theoretical Physicist who believes retrocausality or FTL information transmission is compatible with the Universe we observe.
Anyway we've diverged off the actual crux which is that Quantum Conscious Woowoo theories require types of hidden variable theories which are not coherent with this Universe.
Hindsight is 20/20. I highly doubt people in parallel computing, unless they already worked at Nvidia, have done better than anyone else with their portfolios. Other than the standard delta you'd assume since those people are probably savvier investors in general.
> I plan to keep up the pace for the next 1-2 years in order to reach principal.
At what cost? You even admit this is damaging to your health and well-being... wtf
Indeed so the answer to the question: Can you inherit memories from your ancestors? Is No. Full stop.
You want to talk about how the vibes during your grandparents lives affected some obscure part of your parents health then ok. But these things are completely different.
