People ask me what do i think of ChatGPT, am i excited？
As a scienctist, i’m pretty interested in the technological breakthroughs
As a human being i’m not excited. And this video I’m going to tell you why. Fundamentally, my point is that a lot of these technologies feel to me like an improve means to an unimproved end. (点错了科技树)in other words, tools that get faster to where we do not want to go. And the reason for that is we believe more powerful the technology, the more developed we have to be, the more unlighted humanity have to be, the more clear humanity have to be about what contribute to the good life. If they are to be used for net XXX. Good and I don’t believe humanity is in that spot. So I believe that tools like AI and other associate technology will just get us faster to where we do not want to be. Nuclear technology is a parallelse I’d use. it can be used for fantastic clean renewable energy source or can be used to destroy the entire world. We did both. Let me give you five points in particular and they’re gonna be in ascending order of importance. We point four and five being really for me the most core points. But let’s start with the first most obvious one that you know it will cause a lot of disruption and this day in modern culture disruption is spoken of as if it is in and of irself a good thing. But some time i think it is a little bit like the English expression Turkeys voting for Christmas. Disruption is all very well, until you’re the one being disrupted. I think we always have to accept that in disruption there’s a lot of human miseries caused by it. Now you may say overall for society it’s good. But it doesn’t mean it have to be excited about people losing there jobs. I do think there’s a huge potential for people to lose their job with this, not just the job that people expected, there are a lot people sitting out there, lawers, financiers, doctors, writers, creatives, who would’ve thought that their job was pretty safe and it’s not gonna be safe in the near future. And that’s tough on psychological on people. You may not feel sympathetic about those people whoe hold these classically quite good jobs. But more or less it will cause a lot of human misery. Will more jobs be created? That’s a usual argument, right? Maybe, maybe not. That’s why i reserve my opinion. But the key this it’s not just aggregate jobs being created is meaningful jobs being created. Will more enough meaningful jobs be created to replace? The jury’s out I think
My second point related is who is gonna to stand benifit most. I suspect to be the owners of capital that invest behind these AI algorithms. In other words, as usual with a lot of technological progress it’s likely to be rigged such that it benefits the one percent rather than ninety nine percent. Again, you may say this is the price we pay to live in progress society comfortable… But again, was the benefits really aggregate? The jury’s out. So can I be excited today before I’ve seen actually how people will use it? Can I be excited today before i see whether it will benefit humanity as a whole? In particular those people who are struggling? No I can’t, because I haven’t seen any evidence for that yet. All I’ve seen is propsitions. A number of which propsitions such as the one above, removing jobs do not seem to me to be necesserily conducive to aggregate human happiness.
My third point, I guess is more in the way it operates
