I think you've got good points. With respect to #3 I think there's a general problem with concentration of capital and general "hoarding".

One example. Berkshire Hathaway has $400 billion dollars in the bank that they can't invest because they need high returns. So the capital is locked up. (The banks who hold the funds are restricted in what they can invest in).

Multiply this by loads of other companies. Add in funds stashed in tax havens. And just plain individual savings of people terrified about being poor in their old age.

My point is that the rich problem is not restricted to tech. Although it is quite visible

I'm surprised that an inspector was required at all much less for multiple visits.

I might be totally wrong but I think I'm the UK you'd be allowed to just build a deck. Unless it was high enough to overlook your neighbours.

You and previous comment seem to agree that trial and error/shared experience can determine if consciousness has emerged. And this might/will be challenging.

Previous comment used the word "anticipate" and I think they mean that we won't know in advance before we run the trial and error process.

When they say "deep trouble" I assume they mean because creating a non-friendly conscious AI might pose an existential risk for humanity.

However there is also the ethical issue of creating a consciousness and then destroying/murdering it.

"It is the sort of idea I would be very proud to come up with after a week or two of pondering, and it took ChatGPT less than an hour"

This comment about time is very interesting to me. I know it's "just" doing mathematical proofs but the possibilities of speeding up planning, proposals and decision making in the physical world should excite people.

I feel like you might only be convinced when an AI powered robot rolls up to you and asks, "Bandrami, are you convinced that AI is transformative yet?"

Or it's distraction. Leave nudity in to use up attention that should be turning to analysis of what's been redacted.

There's redaction to protect victims and there's redaction to protect specific co-conspirators in Epstein's spy ring

You say "often used as a first resort to shut down criticism"

You're replying to a comment that says, "rarely see good faith engagements being immediately shut down with 'just fork it'"

They do seem to be clearly contradicting your point
