That's good to hear but also kind of a bummer. But it's to be expected though I guess. Shit ain't easy and even two or 3 decades would be a crazy achievement.

Personally I'm hoping ISRIB which is being licensed to Calico will work and be a nice stopgap measure if not a complete cure. Seems very promising although it's still in animal trials as far as I know.

That's not the case at all. Google and Deepmind publish more AI papers than anyone else in the field currently. They literally invented the transformer model that GPT 3 is based off of. Also, they've had paLM for almost a year now and that's already better than GPT 3. I'm pretty sure Imagen is better than Dalle 2 as well although that's more open to interpretation.

They just haven't released these to the public because it isn't worth the reputational risk for them until they can be sure these language models aren't making false and potentially harmful statements anymore.

OpenAI hasn't done anything on the level of AlphaGo or AlphaZero yet like Deepmind has. AlphaTensor just came out recently as well so they're clearly still making progress.

Also to add one more thing, Sundar Pichai isn't calling a code red because they think they're behind technologically speaking. They're calling a code red because having a LLM remove the need for search is a huge threat to their ad business. Even if everyone is using Google's assistant instead of GPT 4 or whatever it's still detrimental to their bottom line as a bot can't serve ads the same way their search can.

That is actually insane. Does anyone know if the Linux terminal was hand coded into gpt-chat? Like does it show up whenever certain keywords are mentioned? I'm assuming that interface has to be called up manually on the backend but idk. Pretty amazing though.

Idk why you're getting downvoted it is fun (or scary) to think about. I think we are wayy too confident in our assumptions of humanities history. The reality is our known history could only be a tiny sliver of what humans have accomplished with the rest lost to time. It could also be mostly wrong lol. What if the reason we mostly find stone age artifacts is because stone is the only thing that lasts that long?

For example if our global civilization collapsed tomorrow how much would really be left in 10,000, 100,000, a million years? There almost certainly wouldn't be any trace of our highly advanced computational capabilities (arguably our greatest achievement).

Get really, absurdly good at something without regard for how long it takes. Then after that start probably fuck around for awhile and just do whatever I want (obviously will probably still have to work). Beyond that just normal life stuff like have a family, etc. Once that's done maybe recommit myself to working on extreme moonshot goals that would normally be out of reach during a normal human lifespan. Maybe try and understand how to further improve the intelligence of humans, space travel, etc.

If you're truly immortal though (accidents or violence notwithstanding), then eventually it would probably end in a medical suicide for most people at some point.

They also have a high risk of causing irreversible involuntary movement disorders and a host of other nasty side effects. Many patients would rather live with the delusions/voices. Not saying it's a better option but that's probably why med compliance is so low. That and the general distrust or paranoia that usually comes with the disease obviously.
