Seems like The Latest Greatest Frontier posts and other AI submissions live in parallel universes. The former are massive (700+ comments) and seem to only be about how this helps or doesn’t help whatever project people are working on. Meanwhile, even the AI Overlords themselves—no doubt one of the hype angles—are worried about runaway superintelligence. And the other AI submissions have enough complaining about the usual stuff, like being afraid of losing their job forever, ecological degradation, data center buildout, complete domination by billionaires, that sort of thing.

Other than the obvious thing, namely that critics probably aren’t keeping up with the Frontier and thus filter themselves out, does no one have some kind of problem with using these wonderful tools for (let’s say) completely bespoke personal applications and unimportant side projects? Personally I hope to stay off the bleeding edge until circumstances like wvork force me.
