While I clearly cannot control who upvotes my comments (though what you suggest seems completely nuts IMHO), I can genuinely say this is coming from an ex startup employee who has seen, and been subject to, many startup equity shenanigans (my comment history very likely touched on those over the years), so I will always applaud companies that generously compensate employees and not only senior management/investors.
Startups I worked before, who lost talent due to FAANG poaching (myself included), did not even have the business acumen to fight that, which would have been trivially possible by offering some liquidity at their “inflated” valuation. Instead, they kept those liquidity opportunities gated to senior management and investors. So I am applauding the difference in behavior here.
AI just reveals how lazy/cheap/low-standards they were already trying to be. And if AI keeps progressing at current speeds, those are the people who are going to be most easily replaced by AI-tutors within a few years. The actually-good teachers would still have a job in a sane world, but who knows what will happen.
People are thinking "how are video games going to use this?"
That's not the point, video games are worth chump-change compared to robotics. Training AIs on real-world robotic arms scaled poorly, so they're looking for paths that leverage what AI scales well at.
No it's good, you're ahead of the curve, most people aren't there yet.
The next step is to realize that, if life is a cheap simulation, not everyone might have... uh... fully simulated minds. Player Characters vs NPCs is what gamers would say, though it doesn't have to be binary like that, and the term NPC has already been ruined by social media rants. (Also, NPC is a bad insult because most of the coolest characters in games are NPC rivals or bosses or whatnot.)
I don't know how on Earth people can think like this. Most people can find "value" in a slice of pizza. It doesn't even have to be a good pizza.
Or kittens and puppies. Do you think there won't be kittens and puppies?
And that's putting aside all the obvious space-exploration stuff that will probably be more interesting than anything the previous 100 billion humans ever saw.
This is digressing a bit, but I don't buy that space exploration will be more interesting than anything you can see on Earth.
Aren't other planets / moons etc. basically just barren deserts of rock and dust? Once you get over the novelty of it, it will basically just be the shittiest and most uncomfortable place you've ever been.
