„We'll be able to do more, to create more, and to have more. As intelligence is integrated everywhere, we will all have superpowers on demand.”
I don‘t know that I can still get behind the idea that „more, more, more“ is by definition an improvement. AI tools are really useful, but „more, more, more“ isn‘t the battle cry I‘m excited to rally around.
Casey, maybe a cheap shot, but people already publish anti Ukraine propaganda on social media. We’ve seen images from Syria and Central America-- real images not AI-- passed off as happening in Gaza. Just seems like you’re “think about the children.” Like, someone somewhere is doing bad things with cars guns and the internet. Omg.
The difference is, they have to do this manually. Now imagine a bot pro-actively engaging and posting tens of thousands of contextual fake messages and replies. Every day
And now imagine you can host 1000 of these bots on a Raspberry Pi! That's the difference.... Automation and scale!
Yeah, what I worry about is the automation and scale. I do think 2015-era worries about deepfakes mostly haven't panned out. But the equation will continue to change as the technology becomes cheaper and more widely available.
I do wonder how that concern translates into the legal sphere (piggybacking off the latest Hard Fork). Like, the concerns about scale and ease of production are real, but very hard to make rules around (e.g., it’s tougher to say something is only illegal if you can do it really fast/easily, I think).

Can’t see GPTs yet and it’s killing me! Very excited to try out Copy Editor (and others).
Yeah hopefully they will be available to all soon!

When I hear scale all I can think about is massively increasing energy and water use and mountains of electronic waste being generated.
