So it's a cyclical grading? Like elementary math students grading each other's solutions right?

How can this even be valid scientifically


Yes exactly. Seems like there is an agenda against LLMs acting as therapists.

I'm sorry 4 out of 6 is awesome for LLMs. I bet most professional do tors wouldn't get 6.

someone should run an experiment about things being true vs upvotes on HN. I bet there would be a negative correlation as upvotes mostly show emotions.

I'd be interested in "This time it's different" articles vs it being different that time. I find "This time it's different" articles to be a very bad sign.

Just a feeling, but this reads like smoke and mirrors. Dot com not a good comparison, how about the housing bubble?

You believe in the tech sector because technology always goes well and it's what humans strive to achieve, not because it has done well recently. It has always.

When does the tech sector become the computer sector?

Agriculture would have been considered tech 200 years ago.


full throttle until AGI is achieved, then we will see

Maybe one day we will discover that a method exists for computing/displaying/exchanging arbitrary things through none other means than our own flesh and brains.

Long term, yes. Short to medium term, we can get things like the 2001 crash.

Confusing telephones with AGI is some cope from humans.

The way GPUs went. It's not a bubble.

Yes this capital allocation is a once in a lifetime opportunity to crate AGI that will solve diseases and poverty.

</sarcasm>

This is literally the view of demis hassabis, Sergey brin, Mario amodei and others. Are you seriously implying they are trolling us?

Poverty is a social and political issue, not technological. We have more than enough resources on this planet to fix it, but we don't.

This is a actually the fallacy of communism. It can never and will never be "fixed" like that.

I won't be fixed by magical AI either.


We have 8.3 billion examples of general intelligence alive on the planet right now.

Surely an artificial one in a data center, costing trillions and beholden to shareholders, will solve all society's issues!


I suggest you read Amodei post called "machines of loving grace". It will change your worldview (probably).

as a counterpoint, you should read this essay with the same title: https://www.clunyjournal.com/p/machines-of-loving-grace

A lot of this stuff is in the realm of "lol" or even "lmao". There's a consistent failure to consider human nature and economic incentives woven through this essay. Probably the most objectionable stuff is in section 2 "Neuroscience and Mind" because the definition of "mental illness" itself is prone to all kind of historical and societal biases. Who gets to decide what a "normal" brain is? Is it the AI? Does the owner of the brain have any say here? Would a psychopath actually volunteer to be "treated"? Ultimately the danger is that "normal" will just mean "what's best for economic productivity". This is not a good or moral definition and is not founded in any kind of ethical reasoning.

Just remember you "lol" at Nobel laureates and Turing award winners that all agree unanimously that we are going there. You just lol. Not much to say to convince you.


You walk to Einstein and Laszlo. They tell you they are building nuclear. You lol. I come to you I tell you the scientists say they can do it. You lol. Your IQ is..

I work in fusion research, which is a way more realistic goal than AGI and yet is perpetually 20 years away, so please try to find a better analogy :P
