The GPT-4 is a baby technology.
You know, Microsoft even had a paper recently out with the title something like sparkles of AGI.
Well, they were basically saying this is baby AI, like these little Neanderthal babies.
And it's going to grow up.
There's going to be other systems from...
from the same company, from other companies, they'll be way more powerful, but they're going to take all the things, ideas from these babies.
And before we know it, we're going to be like those last Neanderthals who were pretty disappointed when they realized that they were getting replaced.
Yeah, because it's Life 2.0, the systems I'm afraid of are going to look nothing like a large language model, and they're not going to...
but once it gets once it or other people figure out a way of using this tech to make much better tech right it's just constantly replacing its software and from everything we've seen about how how these work under the hood they're like the minimum viable intelligence they do everything in the dumbest way that still works sort of yeah and um
So they were like 3.0, except when they replaced their software, it's a lot faster than when you decide to learn Swedish.
And moreover, they think a lot faster than us, too.
So when, you know, we don't think, have one logical step every nanosecond or so, the way they do.
And we can't also just suddenly scale up our hardware massively in the cloud.
We're so limited, right?
So they are also life...
have consumed become a little bit more like life 3.0 in that if they need more hardware hey just rent it in the cloud you know how do you pay for it well with all the services you provide and what we haven't seen yet which could change a lot is a entire
To make sure they're real.
That's right.
And I feel we have to remember, as individuals, we should from time to time ask ourselves, why are we doing what we're doing?
And as a species, we need to do that too.
