race2tb··on Post-GPT Computing
They got to this level of progress with maybe a million users input and feed back. Now they will have 1000s of plugins feeding them with high quality structured data and 100s of millions of users feeding it. They are also going multi modal and have billions in capital to expand the size and scale of the network. The probability that this is peak gpt seems very unlikely. I expect they will have a post grad level of intelligence gpt across the board in less than 5 years.

No white collar job will be valued the same since GPT will basically be doing most of the work and we will maybe review it and steer it. We will just keep feeding it and it will know everything at the cutting edge of all fields.

I mean when enough people are unemployed they will just vote to socialize the society. Also, massive deflation will reset the global economy. The social ladder as you call it will flatten pretty hard. At that point we nationalize and ubi with work being some kind of minimum amount a year to qualify for ubi. Work hours per year will drop alot. I think society will transform for the better where we start developing towards a post scarcity deflationary future rather than the inflationary rat race we have now.
race2tb··on Testing GPT 4's code-writing capabilities with some real world problems
I like how it ends with it can write code that is repetitive and has many examples of solutions floating around which is most of coding.

It will probably edge upward as well as time goes by till there are only very edge problems that it cannot solve. Even then I would use it to write the broken down version of the solution. It is going to be getting fed by pretty much every programmer,knowledge profession on the planet using copilots of some sort. Eventually it will have knowledge transferred everything humans can do into its model.

race2tb··on ViperGPT: Visual Inference via Python Execution for Reasoning
Not sure if this is the right direction, but it is an interesting idea.
race2tb··on Apple’s declining software quality
Lets see. They are arogant fascists who think they know better than their customers. They charge a lot more but do not provide anything more than their competitors and often less. The company lives and dies on marketting and perception. They are the micrsoft of the Unix world and I hope they go to 0 because they are bad for progress and bad for technological diversity.

Clever, but nothing to do with general intelligence.
race2tb··on Bank of America trying to load up on patents for the technology behind Bitcoin
It is going to be hard to monitize blockchain just like torrents.I think it is best developed by a non for profit that is funded by some major players to keep it unbias and trustworthy to the benifit of market participants.
race2tb··on Magic Leap raises $827M in Series C
Augmented reality may actually be the solution. Think about it, virtual items replace real ones this is huge on its own for the planet.You no longer need a phone , laptop, tv,random toys, etc. No more driving to work, offices are no longer required and replaced by virtual ones you can be in from anywhere with all office equipment and staff virtualized. The list keeps going on and for everything you add to it less of the planets resources are being used.

I think AR and VR along with lab grown animal protein of multiple varieties will reverse a tremendous amount of our planetary fleecing. This vision is at least 20+ years away ,but it is definitely a good answer to many of our problems.
