alt Hacker NewsAm I the only one who's a bit disappointed that we're spending trillions, destroying the ecosystem, drowning democracies and learning in slop, preparing a big financial crash, all of this to achieve an "average AI research intern"?
A long time ago, I used to be a (AI-adjacent) research intern, and frankly, I wouldn't trust any non-trivial task to that younger me. Fortunately, by opposition to an already trained LLM or agent, I have the ability to learn, so I eventually got better.

Is this not what you wanted? You created a culture that dissolves responsibility by making it the worst thing to strife for - so everyone dissolves it, in processes, mass decisions and AI. Its the system, society, god, the great spirit. This is what you strove for, how can you be unhappy with things you demanded yourself?
"Destroying the ecosystem" is just FUD.
And if you don't find "average AI research intern" impressive, I'm not sure what to tell you. Have the goalposts moved so far that open ended problem solving at "average CS student fresh out of the uni" levels is suddenly trivial?
Think of what AI was capable of in 2016. Or even 2022. Compare that to now. We had more AI progress in the last five years than I expected to happen in five decades.
