I would be far more interested in people making confident proclamations like this taking the notion of "what do we do if you are wrong" more seriously. I think you're wrong, I think it is fine to have the other belief, but you should at least start thinking about what is to be done if you are wrong.

Please read my comment. The impact of this pseudo-singularity is still enormous and scary. Could be even worse than Skynet. But it is a Wizard of Oz scenario.

While we are discussing this, I strongly believe we should hedge against the concentration of power that is happening today.

Please join/help open source groups doing small + local or distributed models. There's a lot to do. Join Discord/IRC servers and organize.

Open³: weights - source - training data.
