Company that rips-off creators to build their product complains other companies are doing the same to them.

The Market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

Look who decided to finally show up and do their jobs.

Nah too expensive and too many cheap humans to use

They call out moderation as being key

I mean so is sugar, alchohol, synthetic opioids, ect. Pick your poison. Life is about trade-offs.

You don't actually have to pick any of them.

Your brain needs glucose. So some form of sugar is essential.

Your brain doesn't need to indulge in sugar to the point of becoming a poisonous vice. You can get more than a sufficient amount eating readily available whole foods.

It's a bit like suggesting we are all addicted to water. Sure, enough of it will kill you, but that's not exactly helpful pedantry.

It depends. Not enough water kills you too.

Sure but the article seem to be suggesting this is a free lunch.

Except no one is going to outright lie to you that alcohol is “medicine,” that it’s not addictive, and that it’s entirely healthy to consume.

My grandmother used to insist that her nightly glass of gin was strictly medicinal.

But a glass of wine after dinner is good for your heart!

Counterpoint. The weight and form factor are worth it alone for some usage patterns. Disclaimer: very happy Air user

Cool post but the cursor shadow is a huge distraction

Just went ahead and removed that, thanks for the comment and hopefully this will make it less distracting.

> AI will replace every humans in performing every cognitive task

Maybe? I guess the better question is "when?"

>unless you believe that there is something about biology that makes it categorically better for certain kinds of computation.There's no reason to believe that's the case.

How about the fact that we don't actually know enough about the human mind to arrive at this conclusion? (yet)

> Maybe? I guess the better question is "when?"

And also at what cost and at what scale?

Will we be able to construct a supercomputer/datacenter that can match or exceed human intelligence? Possibly, even probaby.

But that would only be one instance of such an AGI then and it would be very expensive. IMHO it will take a long time to produce something like that as a commodity.

So far it looks like AI will go the same road as other technological analogues of biological systems: not a self-contained unit (powered by currently technologically unreachable nano-mechanisms), but infrastructure that produces and maintains specialized units.

A tractor can't reproduce or repair itself, but it is better than a horse for farming. A self-driving car can't learn by itself, but a datacenter can use its data to train a new version of the car software. A humanoid robot by itself might not be flexible enough to count as AGI, but it can defer some problems to an exascale datacenter.

Remember when a digital computer was not a device, but the entire floor of a building?

We will be able to construct a datacenter that exceeds human intelligence. And every year after that the size of the datacenter will get smaller for the same intelligence output. Eventually it will be a rack. Then a single server. Then something that is portable.

> Remember when a digital computer was not a device, but the entire floor of a building?

Well I don't actually remember, because - depending on your definition of digital computer - it was around 80 years ago and I wasn't born yet. Which is kind of my point. Eventually, we might get there. And I can imagine that simpler AI systems will help to bootstrap more AI systems. But there is still a lot work to be done.
