    Plus I mean what good can an AGI do for me? I’m still not interested in the slightest in paying someone to atrophy my brain.

      Oh, AGI isn’t for you. Its for the AI cultists to worship once they summon it. The AI cultists think they can control thier god, even thought it will be integrated into everything if it is truly super intelligent. Then they will realize that they didn’t learn from all of the dystopia Sci fi warning them about summoning their god.

      Either that, or its all marketing bullshit.

      AGI isn’t for us, it’s to replace us. AGI is the pipedream they have been selling of actually reducing your workforce by offloading it all onto AGI agents. They either don’t reach AGI before their debt obligations come due in 2027 causing the bubble to burst and causing the next great recession or the achieve AGI before that happens and everyone slowly loses their jobs causing the next great recession.

          Yeah, I think they forgot about competition or assumed they wouldn’t have it by the time it matters.

          It only works if they stop training new models and can actually follow their 6 year depreciation schedule on their GPUs. But that would make Jensen Huang cry, and they do have competition right now. You can’t put a bunch of effort into creating one AGI model because then a few months later OpenAI or Anthropic releases a slightly better model and all your contracts go away next year.

      Brain atrophy is only a risk if you don’t reallocate the time saved by applying AGI to an issue you would otherwise have to figure out yourself.

      Use it on problems you can’t bear to manage and not on something for which you have a passion.

      It could be incredible if society doesn’t collapse.

        The problems I can’t bear to manage are not manageable by a chat bot, lol.

        Plus with the incoming climate apocalypse, I’d rather be more self reliant and not less.

      Now, whether they’ll actually reach AGI before this thing implodes is anyone’s guess.

      I’m with you but in a professional environment, there is simply no way around AI anymore. It’s too good to not use unfortunately.

      What good could hundred thousand of the world’s best scientists do for me if they had decades to study every question I asked and could answer them immediately?

      Nothing I guess if you absolutely want to figure it all out by yourself.

      AGI “use” has ethical issues of its own in its own right. But if we dismiss those (we shouldn’t) they will be extremely useful.

      Imagine a personal assistant that will organize your life and manage all the trivial but tedious tasks in your life. There is a reason why crazy rich people all hire personal assistants.

        It’s because they’re lazy, stupid, and have more money than they know what to do with. I don’t have any of those luxuries.
