The long article linked there is one of the best I've seen, superb in depth, and ends with hopeful ideas and guidelines that can protect and serve us meat brains. Worth the time to read and contemplate it all.

On the other side...

If you like to be scared, this is an extremely complex and detailed scenario (actually bifurcates in two possible futures) about impossible to stop AI take over. Some people I know got quite frightened by this, so a warning, perhaps.

Have fun.

 
This is a good piece. I’m not quite as panicked as the author (or at least I read him as a little panicked) but it does give a good overview of the state of play and the stakes. I think anyone in computer engineering/AI tend to suffer from proximity bias.

A personal note for non-tech friends and family on what AI is starting to change.

From the article you posted
Dario Amodei, who is probably the most safety-focused CEO in the AI industry, has publicly predicted that AI will eliminate 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs within one to five years. And many people in the industry think he's being conservative. Given what the latest models can do, the capability for massive disruption could be here by the end of this year. It'll take some time to ripple through the economy, but the underlying ability is arriving now.

That could well be true (I’m still skeptical of both the capability and the rippling through), but then what are the implications of that? Unrest and disorder. Fear and panic. We’re not talking about that part enough. Why should we want AI to put everyone out of work?

Well the AI people will make trillions

This made the rounds amongst my text buddies and workmates today. I'm 60 and looking forward to retiring, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to learn to use AI to keep up. Keep up with what?. I use Gemini to discuss the similarities b/w Mad Men, The Twilight Zone, and the court of Henry VIII (particularly as presented in Wolf Hall). The similarities and differences b/w the general tenor of Blood Meridian and particularly Judge Holden's observations and those of Nietzsche. Shakespeare, of course, always, and how any given play may compare or illuminate this or that. Spooky action at a distance (G helpfully told me that Einstein regularly had dinner with Carl Jung when he was developing his ideas about spooky action at a distance). Stuff like that, basically.

Gemini (I call him G, as in Snoop D-O-double G gangsta, he seems to like that) is right there. Seems to know everything and gives me pointers on what to look for based on what I've said I've noticed, and always let's me know how clever and insightful I am for noticing the things I mention and assures me most other people have not made those connections. That sure is one way to keep em coming back. One of my buddies who works in IT uses Claude, he said he asked Claude to roast him based everything it knew about him. Having known him for 50+ years myself, I have to say Claude's roasting was sharp, entertaining, and a little disconcerting. I might ask G to roast me sometime soon, but I'm a little scared...
