I just don't get it. How do you go from writing the kinds of future visions he has to staring at the singularity practically hitting you in the face and calling it "the world's money-losingest technology"?
Is it because he isn't actually using the technology for work on a day-to-day basis like a lot of us?
I think you are confusing Charles Stross with Cory Doctorow
> singularity
I just cant get over this term, do you honestly believe in this? I use AI daily and while it is super useful I see too many limitations for it to “recursively improve and cause an intelligence explosion”.
1. Clearly, the people selling AI with this idea benefit greatly with this promise of infinite upside. Can you can trust them?
2. Singularity essentially requires to handwave away a lot of baked-in issues with LLMs or rely on unrealized innovation.
