Feels like a bit of a loop back there. “It can only ever be as smart as human output. So we’ll always need humans.” To… What? Create equivalent mistakes? Maybe LLMs in their current form won’t be the drop in replacement, but it’s a critical milestone and a sign of what’s around the corner. So these concerns are still relevant.

Should have finished reading the comment:

a human will always be needed to determine if the results make (real world) sense.

You’re right, but not in the way you think.

It’s only a matter of time before these compankes start trying to simulate human brains. We need state recognition of legal personhood for digital humans /before/ corporations start torturing them for profit.

  This is why I invoked Moore’s law earlier. People have already estimated how many petaflops or exaflops we need to simulate a brain’s worth of neurons and a complete connectome. We currently don’t have enough computer power. But if the exponential growth continues, we will get there.

    We’re there already, an Australian team got started on the project months ago: theconversation.com/a-new-supercomputer-aims-to-c…
