I particularly like the last point he makes here:
Do not underestimate the power of this technology. These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources.
It's interesting to see so much hate towards creators who use AI to make almost any type of creative work. At least these are humans using it as "controllable tools". Nuclear-powered bicycles for the mind.
As the degree of separation increases, things can get interesting. "Create several social media accounts, post whatever, maximize views and engagement, give me back the aggregate numbers". "Now promote <x>."
And then decisions like that may soon be spawning autonomously, as just another step in a reasoning series aiming to achieve some other, broader goal.
Open models/weights may end up playing particularly important roles here. Users may, knowingly or not, bypass system prompt-derived safety that could technically have offered much needed protection.

Is the idea here that no field needs experiments and data anymore (which can take a lot of time) to be revolutinized and just "thinking" would be enough?
How would an AI itself own anything?
