This meme has been around for like two years and we still have major publications pushing the same nonsense. Ugh.

With most technologies you can assume “I don’t understand how this works in any detail but the experts who make the thing does.”
That makes it easy to assume the same is true of AI but the top AI people say it isn’t.

People used to say that AI refers to any software problem we haven’t figured out how to solve yet. But generative AI seems to have disproven that. I don’t think we are going to stop referring to stable diffusion or ChatGPT as AI.

I think it's pretty funny that after years of "Silicon Valley has stopped making revolutionary technology, everything is just uber for dogs now" the first self-evidently revolutionary technology comes out and the reaction is "whooaaaa slow down there guys let's pause here"

I think they’d have a great life on a habitable planet because that’s what IPCC projects, and because the world is dramatically richer now and has way lower rates of child mortality and poverty than it did when I was born
