The thing with these fashion trends is that there's always a percentage of people that never move on. I'm sure that these aliens can find the guys they're looking for somewhere.
Even one or two seems like it'd be catastrophic. And if nothing's changed until they enter the workforce and start fucking shit up, I'd say that's something like 10 years of teens becoming dependent on it and losing out on critical education and development (presuming worst case - no market crash). That's a lot of damage.
And students who are using it in school aren’t learning, because ChatGPT is doing all their work - badly - for them.
This is the one that really concerns me. It feels like generations of students are just going to learn to push the slop button for any and everything they have to do. Even if these bots were everything techbros claimed they are, this would still be devastating for society.
This is something I don't see talked about enough. The real reason CEOs and corpos are so blindly committed to making this happen is because they think the end result will be a fully automated workforce that will be far cheaper and 100% under their control.
People just letting techbros subsume and ruin perfectly good words without a fight. Llms aren't AGI. They're not even AI. Stop just going along with it.

I do think he's authentically pretty stupid, but I would also believe it's for money. He's had "moments of clarity" before, then changed his tune pretty quick. May be acting up again to get attention or some hush money.
Worse, the fool knew the risks and had a much safer alternative, but did it that way anyhow just to flex. Extra dumb since his longtime colleague had died just 6 months earlier from the very same core.
Ratios (eg 'x to y') are used to simplify data. If they're just going to use the numbers as they are, then just say 133 out of 145. As is, it's just a mess that most people won't bother trying to figure out or internalize.
Anyone as in "a single person". They don't mean everyone has access.
