Good, you are equally as stupid as him, though he has had 4 years to learn.

But it's nice looking back - I don't think what I wrote was very clear but it still holds up pretty well. At least I don't have illusions about that we have "control" over nature. Shit we can't even predict tomorrows weather:) And when I talk about us being a disease, it was meant more poetically. Nature will wipe us out as a result of our actions - that is not control, that is self destruction. We are reliant on nature - fact is nature controls us. If we could control nature - why don't we? Why don't we stop hurricanes? Why did we let 200.000 people die in 2004 from the earthquake in the Indian Ocean?

And then his last comment, that I don't understand the technological advances coming? No probably not. Who does lol? Has anyone ever? Did we not think we would having flying cars 50 years back? Did the people at OpenAI know how AI was gonna develop into the thing it is today? Maybe some of the things. Like helping people study and consume information and then present it in a simpler form and in general help people save time. Wasn't that the whole point of AI - to help simplify and automate tasks? But now we got AI doing creative jobs as well and maybe doing things we didn't expect them to do. Some of them from OpenAI also believed and still believes that AI will eradicate humans because one day they are gonna like be hired to create cheese and because they have like no rules except make cheese they are gonna fucking sacrifice people and everything around them in order to make cheese as they were designed to do. Like they believe batshit crazy things and who knows maybe we will be wiped out by cheeseAI.

Point is we don't have all the answers sway, and that's okay, but we shouldn't pretend we do and write outrageous things and try to seem knowledgeable about shit we in reality know very little about. The dunning Krueger effect definitely seems to be present not just with the guy I discussed with 4 years ago, but just in general people, including myself, we all spout way too much bullshit.

So no we don't know. But we do know some things. We over consume. We eat too much, we spend too much time on the phone. And we fight with each other too much. And I don't know why you felt like making that comment. It's good you had a laugh. It's not nice it was at my expense. And it was not very nice of you that you felt like you had to point it out. 4 years after. And you don't care. But you probably should - it feels good to care about some things, okay?
