      And this is presumably an early model, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they specifically want it to appear careful for the demo video.

      Yes. I don’t think enough people realise the significances of this fact. Unlike us, AI will never peak; it will always relentlessly get better.

        We’re poised on the brink of complete and total change to the nature of our existence and economy. The fact that this isn’t priority number one for politicians is absolutely insane. This is what should be discussed during the presidential debate, not who is better at golf. Like wtf bullshit bizaro world have I found myself in?
