Interesting. No, I hadn’t heard about that… but I do think it’s likely to happen. I think there will come a time, within the next 20 years, where you’re either dirt poor (financially) or you’re a human-AI hybrid.
Personally, I’m preparing for life as a farmer/forager, because I have no interest in merging with AI and I know there are more important things in life than money.
I don’t believe that will ever come to pass. That future relies on the creation of a real AI and not just fancy text predictors. That real AI would also have to be actually sustainable which LLMs are not.
Not only has there been no progress on real AI, it wouldn’t be able to ruin society even if we did manage to make it. The rich and powerful are not impervious. They will inevitably make too many people too poor and then be overrun and torn to shreds. It’s happened countless times before and if we’ve learned anything from Ukraine and the Middle East this past decade, it’s impossible to bomb a large group of people into submission.
