I really like how many hypotheses you generated here.
A few months ago my GM pulled me in kind of in the way where you think you might get fired, he wants you to feel like you could hear a pin drop you know? He’s in his early fifties. Then he showed me a huge order where he had to ship a whole bunch of stuff separately to different locations and he was trying to calculate the weights and shipping costs of all these separate packages going to separate locations, and the non-AI solutions were failing him, so he copypasta’d into ChatGPT and it showed all its work, and he’s like “Look at this!”, and I just told him that he was having an appropriate emotional reaction because he’s old and almost everyone younger than him is a boiling frog or as clueless as he was ten minutes ago. That kind of stuff gives me hope.
Thank you! I’ve thought about this a lot, so most of the work was in cramming those many hypotheses in to a short and entertaining enough form that people might read them.
WRT this giving you hope: Yes, people will wake up to AI and fear it appropriately. I still don’t have much hope for shutdowns. But even slowdowns and less proliferation might really help our (otherwise poor IMO) odds of getting this right and surviving.
