While Air B&B has done irreperable harm to the housing market, I'm not 100% convinced it should be banned. I propose if a house operates as an enterprise, it be taxed according to commercial rates, not residential. It would go a long way to resolving the inequities.
I had a lot of fun talking to one about how we could fully electrify a hobby farm without batteries, by using a high voltage DC overhead wire on a cable pulley system. Everything from electrical engineering, to cable selection, sourcing vendors and costs.
Mistakes were made, but it was genuinely helpful at times. I was impressed at how far it has come.
I respect what you are saying, and agree our LLM are just superficial pseudo communication engines. Theories of intelligence differ, but I don't think human intelligence, i.e. IQ of 100 is really all that far ahead of LLM. Just talk to your average person. We are easily wrong. We have bias and error. We repeat and amplify untruths and make mistakes.
It could be fewer breakthoughs than you think to get there. Not because the tech is so advanced, but because we are not that special.
Super-intelligence is just degrees better.
"I like your Christ very much. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ"

Like all technology, the development times get shorter and shorter. No one can predict the future and specific dates are meaningless, but it is plausible that, stumbles aside, AI achieves superintelligence in the very near future. My gut says sooner than later with 90% probability by 2040. <-remember I said dates are meaningless. ;)
The world is not ready for it. It will be more destructive than constructive. May god have mercy on us all. I hope I am wrong.
The horny Bard strikes again.
While Tesla is now and forever dead to me. I would love an EV without the surveilance, self steering, self braking etc...
I want an EV that only I control, not run by some fascists software updates. Autodrive isn't something that frees you from the burden of driving, its control over where when and how you go anywhere. Its control marketed as convenience.
Give me the dumbest EV possible. It should also be cheaper to produce.
I believe in you!
