      It’s still just a report on things that Sam Altman and his ilk says, it has a much as much validity as Elon Musk claiming that we’re going to have cities on Mars by the end of next year. I’ve never been able to decide if these idiots actually believe the things they are spouting or if they’re just trying to get more investment but either way it’s not worth paying any actual attention to them.

      Assuming we’re even on the right path towards superhuman AI (personally I can’t see large language models actually leading anywhere) we’re certainly only at the start of that journey, it’s pointless to muse about what the end would look like because we have no idea what kind of technology will have by the end, it could be a century or more from now.

      Regardless the people deciding on that technology will be scientists not rich CEOs with over inflated salaries who can barely wire up a light switch, let alone design a brain implant.
