What would you prefer to talk about? We don’t have to make predictions and discuss their potential, or at least you don’t have to join those discussions.

A lot of these comments aren’t predictions. They’re assuming that openAI will create AGI in the next 5 years and they want to discuss the implications of that.

Personally, I think LLMs are a step forward, but I suspect that GTP-4 is close to the limit of what’s possible with LLMs. I don’t think we’re going to see AGI from the same approach.

So many in tech are just miserable, closed minded and insufferable humans.

For so many, discussion and debate has been redefined to complain about how much the world sucks.

Capitalism sucks

AI sucks

The US sucks

Crypto sucks

Javascript sucks

Python sucks

Software itself sucks

Take out those thoughts and 90% of the comments on this board would vanish.
