Folks like Jacob should feel ashamed/be challenged from spreading misinformation like this in my opinion
The entire world now thinks we really have built super powerful AI while all we got are freaking *LLMs* that
- write terrible unreadable code (see e.g. Astra)
- are able to fill in smaller blocks of logic, but humans need to come up with the high-level stuff or design
- are fixed i.e. don’t adapt based on situation/learn over time. The dynamics and main intelligence are in the human prompts, not in the models
- are trained on a fixed corpus of data
- spend the same exact compute per token
- think in tokens which is extremely inefficient and wasteful
- don’t generalise beyond their RL environments (each new task requires a new RL environment)
- are not grounded in the physical world
- are limited to software. Not connected to powerful hardware and unable to master it
C’mon dude. Be serious. The current tech is cute but extremely far from the dangerous future you are implying.
What you are describing requires something much more powerful than the current pretty dumb LLMs and Transformers we got.
It’s why most folks are asking for AI to accelerate rather than decelerate
