On: If You Knew God Exists, Wouldn't You Become a Priest?

The truth probably is that someone looked at what LLM can do, understood its real potential (really, it is a fantastic search tools for existing knowledge), and then went a bit further and understood its potential as a scam (ie market it as the first step to Super AGI).

Really figured out that they can make more $$$ by selling it than actually using it themselves and selling the result.

yes someone accidentally scammed their way into solving Navier Stokes problem haha yeah.

I find these comments boring because they lack the theory of mind into EAs and rationalists.

>into solving Navier Stokes problem haha yeah.

Never said LLMs are not capable of some things...May be try to comprehend, before you respond.

Its clear you have no understanding of the rationalists or EA circle. They have been speaking about ASI for ages - since early 1990s. To think that the same people who then chose to work at OpenAI or Anthropic and then realised "oh wait I can scam people because this whole thing can never become AGI" is strange.

If you clarify your line of reasoning, I can try to address it. Because frankly, I can't follow it...

But it seems that your arguments is that "a bunch of guys got sold on the idea, so it must be legit"...is that it?
