"AI for the first time can replace or exceed human cognition." 🤣
No.
Maybe if you chose one tiny sliver of human cognition like memory and isolate it, but cognition overall? No chance. LLM tech is a database inference machine. Some uses? Yes. 1/3 of the worlds stock market wealth invested in it? Dumb.
Not many years ago, Bill Gates said that climate change was the most important issue facing the world.
I guess that's solved now, because he now says how we handle AI use and access has taken the mantle as the most important issue the world's facing.
This is just more AI cooker stuff from a billionaire octagonarian.
Who is so disconnected from reality he doesn't know the cost of groceries.
Oh he knows them. To him it is basically zero.
His net worth is 100.000.000.000$. The median persons net worth peaks at about 400.000$.
So in comparison what buying Groceries for the average person is when spending 100$; for him is equivalent to the average persons buying groceries spending 0,04¢.
He would have to go shopping 25 times to spend the equivalent of a cent.
