    If it were actually AI I might have some faith.

    This isn’t a neural net processor, not a learning computer. It’s a fucking mechanical Turk. A bad one.

    What he’s talking about isn’t capable of deriving new ideas. It’s just going to spit out shit it’s seen already.

    The library of Babel is just as likely to give us the answers he’s talking about. More likely maybe because it’s at least already written down.

      I wonder if all this is to burn enough energy to make ignorant people believe that we have AI. And then use that AI as a justification of the existing order of things, the same way “civil contract” is. That it’s not really technical, but rather a very big and expensive propaganda campaign for abolishing democracies.
