Sometimes I think about that. In the LLM era, what is the meaning of my existence? Compared to the past, I’ve become able to do so many things, but there isn’t really anything I want to make. I don’t know where to place my identity.
I’m not trying to be snarky. I spent most of my life as an atheist and it never occurred to me to think about the meaning of my existence. It was obvious that I’m just a wet bag of carbon. What else could I be?
I am likewise atheist and I have spent half a decade thinking about meaning. It has nothing to do with religion or God, though some find their meaning there.
I’m not trying to be snarky, but you should read more philosophy. Everybody asks about meaning at one point in their life, and find themselves woefully unprepared.
Rather, I tend to feel that sensation even more now, while LLMs are still in their early stages.
