I don’t understand this take. For me creativity and thinking is the whole purpose of life.

Then you clearly don't understand my take.

Then you should explain yourself better

I understood it. Nature has had an amount of computing power to work on this problem that utterly dwarfs the tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, amount of compute resources that humans have. Thinking that 10 years of Sam Altman is competitive with all of natural history isn't just out-of-control hubris, it's a complete failure to understand the ground-truth of the world we live in. You may as well try to pay a million dollar debt with a single dime.

Correct. At least someone here is able to read words and understand the meaning behind them.

The funny thing is that I am a sort of misanthrope. And in that, in this forum, I seem to have a lot more respect and optimism for human potential and ingenuity than the majority here.


It's funny that us curmudgeons are the ones they can't quite beat all the hope out of :'D

I understood you well enough. I disagree with the idea that something that has been replaced or obsoleted does not warrant survival in general. And human creativity in particular.

It's not only that it would have been made obsolete.
