GPT-3 is legitimately the closest thing I've ever seen in my lifetime to what people 30 years ago saw when they first witnessed NCSA Mosaic, and I'm amazed to see people in tech downplaying its significance the way they are. Many of these same people were in awe of the iPhone, which while a legitimate technological breakthrough, IMO will not prove nearly as disruptive as this tech. And probably many of these same naysayers foolishly bought into the hype around crypto. But here you have something that is going to be massively disruptive, and not necessarily in a good way, and instead of sounding the alarm, you have "crying wojak mask"-tier comments reassuring each other that everything will be fine.

GPT is going to put millions of writers, artists, and programming/IT professionals out of work, full-stop. It will also make Sam Altman and other tech billionaires even richer than they already are, and worsen already extreme wealth inequality. It's obvious enough at this point that I can't believe people don't realize this. Just look at how rapidly the technology is being adopted, even by normies.

I'm not going to give the OP life or career advice, but for my part, I am actively trying to invest substantial amounts of my money into the firms I think will win the AI revolution, at least to protect myself form the downside.
