Infinity if I remember my college calculus class

Wth is ‘exponentially compounding exponential’?

They will not stop increasing size. More like taking a breather and squeezing progress from maximizing pre training Also waiting for more cost reduction for scaling. Just a breather. And they also work on tech for beyond the GPT models. More integration of vision recognition and other things will come. Some form of weak AGI will be here in the next 5 years.

They were saying it won’t be larger than GPT-3. They want to focus on finessing it and squeezing more out or customizing and pre training before they increase size any further. It will be much better than it’s predecessor anyway. If this approach yields good harvest they won’t increase the size of GPT-5 either. They will only do so if they hit a wall.

I’m not a biologist so the exact mechanism is unknown to me. But it is generally accepted that animals can make decisions.

Hard to tell. I meant in the sense that the computer can decide for itself. Not that you program it to act or respond in a certain way. Sorry that my English is poor. I hope I made myself understood now. Thanks for the answer and patience.

You could. But wouldn’t that still be programming?

Of course, the observer must be doing the observing. No dispute there. But I was wondering how would you define consciousness as opposed to awareness.

True, but only when prompted by a command or programming. It cannot so it by its own volition. Yet

That seems correct. Conscious thought can overrule unconscious thought or instincts.

What would be your definition of consciousness?

Some religions actually take this view. Not exactly sure, but a Muslim friend told me this is the view in Sunni Islam. I couldn’t verify, though.

This is a very good link. I learned a lot. Thank you 🙏🏻

You are correct: not all jobs will be automated right away, indeed. No one said they will be. They will be automated only when the automation of a job can be done cheaper and with less errors than the same job performed by a human worker. It was always so.

Depends where you live and the field you chose to enter. In Switzerland it’s quite expensive to open a viable business.

The companies replace human labor with machines to save money and cut costs, not to spread the wage fund over more employees. They are not philanthropists but competition forced capitalists.

Thanks 😊 I will open a business as soon as I win the jackpot. I don’t have the capital until then.

If I were there I would most likely apply and take it if offered. I live in Switzerland now and we haven’t got such sweet deals. Are you applying? Also, I’m curious, how many applicants per job have they got for those lofty wages? Can you call them up and let us know, please? My guess 25-30 applicants per job. Can you verify, please.

The automation is replacing human jobs in all fields, including services. It is accelerating. Automation always replaced jobs. The difference today is that it is replacing them faster than new jobs are created. Meaning that for the first time, automation is a net destroyer of jobs. That’s what’s new.
