So much negativity all the time. The fact remains that AI models are out in the public domain. If you’re unable to see how that can improve the lives of an average person, that’s a failure of imagination.
Don’t let megacorps dominance prevent individual action. The best way to be hopeful is to effect change in your immediate surroundings. Teach people how to leverage AI, then they won’t be hold hostage to the tyranny of the beauraucrats - doctors, lawyers, accountants, politicians, software engineers, project managers, bankers, investment advisors etc.
Yes, AI makes mistakes .. so what? Humans do too.
Credit where credit is due - Sam may be no saint, but OpenAI deserves credit for launching this revolution. Directly or indirectly that led to the release of open models. Would the results have been the same without Sam? Nobody knows, not a point worth anybody’s time debating.
Given most of us here are software engineers, it’s natural to feel threatened, there will be those of us whose skills will be made obsolete. And some of us will make the jump to the land of ideas, and these tools will empower us to build solutions that previously required large companies to build. Perhaps that might mean that we focus less on monetary rewards instead of change, as it becomes ever so easy to effect that change.
To those whose skills will be made obsolete - you have a choice on whether you want to let that happen. Some amount of fear is healthy - keeps our mind alert and allows us to grow.
There will be a growing pain, as our species evolves. We’ll have to navigate that with empathy.
Change starts from you. You are more powerful than you can imagine, at any given point.
