On some level yes, but also the degree to which that matters depends on where open source models have gotten to by the time / if that happens

Interesting, if *slightly* disheartening, research into public attitudes to AI automation of jobs amongst the (US) general public: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Also important to remember that even if it is a bubble and even if it bursts it doesn't mean genAI goes away; it just means that everyone feels a lot poorer for 10+ years

It's tempting to laugh at this, ho ho Sam Altman and co with egg on their faces, but if it really goes pop it will not be good. Unbelievable amounts of money and bets for the future of many governments (and countries) are staked on AI

I remain baffled why the fuck we are expected to listen to a man whose singular achievement was 'being good at table tennis'

The UK is “madly left, madly liberal, hyper-progressive”, Syed says. This is a deeply odd speech, seemingly from yet another person who spends a lot of time on X.

[I deleted earlier post which had the typo of saying, 'US' rather than 'UK'.]
