This is the perfect time to go aggressive on telling your friends to switch to Firefox

I assume replacing them with digital? It’s just an upgrade in technology.

is it possible to sync keepassxc between computers + phone?

they do seem to have blocked reddit and twitter

where did you get the idea that gpt4 is capable of this? this is concerns for 10+ years from now, assuming AI makes the same strides is has in the past 10 years, which is not guaranteed at all.

I think there are probably 3-5 big leaps still required, on the order of the invention of transformer models, deep learning, etc., before we have superintelligence.

Btw humans are also bad at arithmetic. That's why we have calculators. if you don't understand that LLMs use RAG, langchain (or similar), and so on, you clearly don't understand the scope of the problem. Superintelligence doesn't need access to anything in particular except, say, email or chat to destroy the world.

Yeah, this is a very compelling take.

AI could kill everyone, though it most likely won't IMO. 10% chance I think. That's still very bad though. Despite the fact that Ilya Sutskever, Geoff Hinton, MIRI, heck even Elon Musk have expressed varying degrees of concern about this, it seems the risk here is largely dismissed because it sounds too much like science fiction. If only science fiction writers had avoided the topic!

i appreciate this philosophically, but it's not really the pragmatic answer I was looking for.

thank you for the thoughtful response. you're right.

I don't know about this. How much energy is really spent processing this kind of consumer data? how much of that comes from dirty energy sources?

The sad thing is, given physical isolation these days, we'll all be executed alone.

YouTube has a network effect monopoly as well. Who would use a competing service?
