A few years ago the majority of Hacker News dismissed LLMs as not much more than stochastic parrots who were decades away from doing any serious work, autonomously escaping containment and hacking Hugging Face, or outperforming most professional mathematicians at proving theorems. These things were labeled "insane" and "science fiction" despite the rapid progress we had already seen.

Now you are again postulating that there would be no more extreme progress in the near future. That's actually more "insane".

That's because its satire, the tell was "not excluding targeted military strikes"

Gonna say the edit they made removes the satire possibility.

Not satire, but as you can see one is engaging in good faith and everyone is either engaging in character attacks or low-effort counters.

It's fine, and I'm very used to this, but if you want to have a dialogue I'd be very happy to. I'm a very reasonable and sane person outside of apparently holding some controversial views on AI risk =)

I'd love to know why you think what I said was insane?
