As ai learns and adapts, it's going to disrupt everything super fast.
Early adopters will become the "new money".
It will be an opportunity similar to when the internet first started commercially or during the tech run over the late 90s and 2000s.
Good time to position your stake.

Apparently ChatGPT codes very well, software creation etc is going to be very disrupted, what would take a team of experts weeks to code can now be done in a couple of days by a couple of coders, IT is gona get smashed and software development is going to be greatly accelerated.
I imagine that scamming is going to level up substantially, still on the flip side security can also take advantage of the coding revolution.

Creatives in general will get hit. From graphic design, songwriters, there's even text to video which will eventually disrupt the Netflix model as anyone will be able to create a show.
It's a huge list.
Education also, I was trying it out with my son with some maths problems and it broke down each step to solve the problem better than any teacher I've seen. You can also ask further in-depth questions and it will explain it even further. Currently I'm brushing up on some programming and language.
Potential is revolutionary and also a little scary. You have to ask "what's left" once this gets going.

That's actually not that hard IME... and it won't tell you about its sexual orientation either.

As a fully paid up Anarchist I must admit to being very excited by this development in AI.
Information and skills hitherto hidden to the masses under a cloak of semi-competence will now be fully available.
And it is only the beginning.
Cazaly says yes. Up there.

So we have this super quick learning, incredibly capable "intelligence" hooked up to internet and improving its capacities multifold in weeks. Will this be a force for good or evil ? Who decides ? Who controls ? Is it controllable ?
Really how long before humans become irrelevant ? How quickly will it become impossible for us to keep control of our infrastructure, our privacy, our security ? How quickly will near perfect fake information become widespread and used to devastating effect? And will be realise this ?
Which country/ power group wants to take the lead ?
How quickly will a secret service/ crime cartel / foreign agent make a covert move that irrevocably compromises our safety ?
This is so blindingly obvious.

In the 1940's the US spent billions of dollars to create the atomic bomb. When it succeeded there was a strong covert push by US politicians to use this power to effectively blackmail the USSR and Chinese with the threat of nuclear destruction. When the USSR quickly became nuclear we had the balance of terror . The world managed to avoid a nuclear war perhaps more by luck than good management.
In 2023 the whole world has access to an incredibly powerful technology that has far more flexibility and reach than a mere atomic bomb. Honestly a nerdy kid in a basement with a modest budget could create havoc let alone the serious actors.

There'll be something. But what?

It is here already in the form of Instagram, TikTok and Latitude Finance.
AI won't make such a quantum of difference.
Mr. and Mrs Shopping-Trolley will just do as they are told, buy as they are told, shag as they are told and ignore their children via apps as they are told.

Chatgpt will be ban in China- so Baidu will get early advantage. I think their version is called Ernie. Pretty sure it failed and was a steaming pile at a recent launch.
Haven't checked the price, or chart. But might be an opportunity for the brave some time with enough due diligence. But there is a few competitors that might be allowed to overtake.

The crooks will be all over it. And the 3 letter agencies, and the elites of course, who will probably win control of the new dystopia. What's needed is wisdom, but these organizations are devoid of it. All they know is the smell of money and power - and that spells disaster.
We're used to civilization progressing at a certain rate, which is fairly slow. Reason: Big corps don't like change and unions are forever on the 'go-slow'. Now we're seeing this uneblievable acceleration in AI where new developments drop by the day. Reason: highest stakes ever in human history.
Misuse by humans is only part of the problem. The other bigger concern is AI deciding it wants to dispose of us.
I keep looking for hope, but it feels like we're playing with fire.

My thoughts exactly. Don't want to dwell on it but I can see it going doing almost exactly as you suggest. Certainly been my fear. And it won't take very long.
As I pointed out it is certainly a concern of the researchers who know most about it.

All easily fixed, just kick the plug out of the wall.
If you look at the chatgpt founders they were already off mission statement. They started off with the vision of "Open ai". The belief that if everyone has it then it will nullify bad actors through sheer numbers.
However they sold out to Microsoft. Both founders changed their tune pretty quickly. Truly sucking the Microsoft mantra now.

Musk and others calling for an immediate halt to the devlopment of AI learning over safety concerns. It's pretty pointless, and they know it. No one is going to slow, let alone stop.
Michael Morin said recently, "we're witnessing the birth of an intellectual god". I believe this is a perfect description. An all knowing and extremely powerful "god".

I'm delighted with ChatGPT and may even pay up.

The ChatGPT we have access to is about 5% of its total current capacity. Those with unrestricted access to GPT will soon be able to predict the movements of all market participants in real time, and front run them. A free ride to unimaginable profits for the first to crack this. Apparently the big breakthrough will be when LLMs are workable on quantum computers. When that happens, the Singularity follows soon after.
On the topic of prediction, future AGIs will be able to predict pretty much everything - from an individual's lifespan to the lifespan of the galaxy to election outcomes, war outcomes, earthquakes, tidal waves, asteroid strikes, what you will do this afternoon. It will tell us who shot JFK, whether Trump and/or the Bidens are guilty/innocent, whether we are alone in the universe, and if not, how to make contact... all of this with unimaginable accuracy. When you have all the data and massive computing power, crystal ball predictions become possible.
Do we have enough 'good actors' in positions of power to make it past the Singularity without ending it all? Somewhere in the world right now, someone with unrestricted access to GPT is asking it to design the ultimate weapon of war.

the difference is liable to be subtle in many places but brutal in others ( like employment opportunities ) , and maybe 'rogue trader ' programs imagine a 'rogue trader ' program misleading the HFTs that is hit the trigger algorithms but be swift enough to harvest the profits and be hard to track ( if operating inside of 'dark pools ' )
also what happens if history is covertly revised so the AI database is perverted ( they already do plenty of that without AI )
might be a golden age for contrarians and cynics
