If I blatantly lie about my capabilities can I also get unlimited VC money and zero blowback?

Everyone keeps pointing at 2027 for a variety of world changing events. I’m kinda worried.

It'll be exactly like y2k or 2012...

Guy selling something says buying it will make your, mother-in-law stop visiting, your kids smarter, and your dick longer, more at 11...

They said humans.

Then again... it also could not happen shortly after 2027.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Or could happen not shortly after 2027.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

Probably couldn't happen in 2027 though, or could it?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 hours ago

I took a shit, it's growing sentient and could surpass almost all humans at almost anything by 2027.

Anthropic chief says AI could surpass “almost all humans at almost everything”

Agreed.

shortly after 2027

I doubt that.

I think that there are near-term things that have real value that one can build with existing approaches. However, I think that we are still a fair bit of research away from beating humans across the board.

Three years is "build a software package when you already know what you're doing", not "start on a grand research program" timescale.

This just in: asshole says thing! Oh no!

This rent seeker is huffing his own farts too much lol

I am guessing need more VC and state funding

...well, hopefully it's better at politics than we are.

Though, if that bar was any lower it'd be passing through the planet core.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

because it will be so smart or because we will be so stupid?

If so, then Politicians are likely to ban AI from participating in politics because they don't want competition to eat them up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

That's great. AI can deal with all the shit that humans have to do like working, and we can all chill out and take it easy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

Fuck I hope so. Humans should be replaced at everything by AI.

Then we'll be able to discuss what even makes a human. All of us dying and a couple of billionaires left to live alone is a desirable goal /s
