We need to start treating AI development, and its potential impact on the possibility of a humane world, as seriously as we treat climate change. I’m not even talking about existential risk or far-flung, distantly possible applications. I am talking about things that are coming in the next half-decade. I’m talking about stuff that’s technically already possible but is still in the implementation phase.
My summary: we need to democratize all powerful institutions like yesterday. Seriously y'all we're running out of time
also, there is a huge gap between explaining a joke and writing one. I don't think we're especially close to AI being able to write good jokes. and there's an even bigger gap between writing a joke and writing an article, writing an article and writing a book, writing a book and being able to choose a topic for the book, and all of that and, yknow... consciousness.
GPT-3 was routinely writing funny jokes. I assume this system does even better at the task. the former fell apart trying to write anything longer than a few paragraphs, though.
