As someone who has suffered immensely from anxiety disorders and worrying / anger my whole life, this comment is wisdom right here.

Not in my thirties and almost nothing I worried about has come true. I mean, tomorrow we might get wiped out by a runaway technological singularity, but I could've spent the last 30 years of my life worrying a lot less too..

...yes

I own a fairly cheap Japanese small car which lives outside and it's absolutely insane how well the paint is aging, the car looks almost knew even though it's 20 years old, there is almost zero sigh of rust of corrosion and this car lives in snow 4 months of the year. So I completely agree, the stuff is incredible.

I actually feel relieved when I walk outside and look at it, I hardly wash it but it still looks quite new.

I can see Elon musk telling us that there is no rain on Mars, which is where it's really designed for, so it's ok and continue to order please.

You're asking if I find it jarring ?

All the rap music I like is trying to convey some type of deeper message, or make some type of important social commentary, and rap often delivers that in a powerful, fun and beautiful way. It's not just the rhyming that is impressive, it's the culture that goes with it.

I get that it's kind of cute, and geeky to have the computer use statistics to produce rhyming sentences, but it just will never hit the same way as 2pac, Eminem, ODB, Marvin Gaye or Gill Scot Heron does, not matter how sophisticated it gets.

People can argue all they like about humans "just being LLMs" but humans also bring real life experience, failure, suffering and meaning to their art, which IMO is very important for the art to be interesting and develop connection.

Van Gough is like this, his work is interesting to me because I find his life and his story interesting.

So I don't find that rapping jarring, but I don't care for it either, it does absolutely nothing for me and I'd never listen it a second time, it just sounds like a rip off or approximation of many artists I've heard before.

In my opinion, you could've written a better song yourself by learning three chords on a guitar and producing something more original. Maybe just a confidence thing?

I'm not sure what people are trying to get out of this process, I'm not judging it per se, but what drives people to sit with generative AI, prompt it, and find satisfaction out of the prompting, I don't really know? Is it just the convenience that is appealing? I do understand that it might be fun to explore with the prompting, but I'm genuinely curious about your perspective?

I studied music for a long time, and what I really really gain satisfaction from is actually understanding my instrument, understanding the theory, and then producing music from that knowledge, but in a way, forgetting all the theory and just being myself with my instruments, with little effort.

Like I cannot imagine getting much satisfaction out of having a computer generate a song for me?

Likewise when using Google translate, I've studied Japanese for a long time, and there is a huge level of satisfaction out of actually having a conversation with someone in their native tongue as opposed to hacking through it with GT.

What about it?

They didn't have access to the cyber truck?

We don't have any proof to suggest that "intelligence" grants a fundamental understanding of everything though. It can help us understand "things", do neat stuff, and build models to explain the working and structure of phenomena; However would having an IQ of 5000 mean you are now "God" or gain and understanding of everything including the mystery of existence itself?

At some point, it seems important to stop trying to understand the world through ideas and concepts and just experience it.

I really think there are more religious like beliefs on the pro AGI camp than the other way around, think about what AI promises to deliver by "visionaries" like Hinton and Kurzweil:

* Immortality.

* Resurrections.

* Nirvana / Heaven / Utopia.

For all we know, we create an AGI who becomes amused with fucking itself, or develops new games it finds interesting and spends all eternity playing them. Humans have a belief that we're going to create "god" as we think of "him". All seeing, all knowing, all powerful. It does get a bit ridiculous at times.

I sympathize a lot wit the parents view personally.

Starting to really wonder if the information space we call the web is in-trouble? Like it actually seems like it's happening, everything is getting polluted with AI dog shit?

My Instagram feed is under attack too.

Now we have AlphaGo, AlphaGeometry and AlphaFold2, it should be probem solved right? Search will be fixed.

There is absolutely zero comparison between living in the world and experiencing it, and building a model, loading in copyrighted, carefully curated material and then charging for the outputs of said model without paying royalties. It's hard to even believe people can't understand the difference.

The fact is, the majority of people do not want to steal others work for profit, and for those bottom feeders that do, there are lass to discourage such behavior and to protect the original producer.

If these models were trained on creative commons licensed material only, then you'd have a leg to stand on.

I even had to pay for my tuition, and textbook material. Even if some portion of my knowledge comes from osmosis, I have still contributed at some stage to access training material.

When I was 16, I wanted to learn to code, do you know what I did? I went and purchased coding books because even at 16, I understood that it was the right thing to do. To pay the author for the privilege of accessing their work.

How basic can one get?

Would you like it if I broke into your house and used your things without asking you? Because that's about what's happening her for professionals.
