Are the employees in the demo high-directives of OpenAI? I can understand Altman being happy with this progress, but what about the medium/low employees? Didn't they watch Oppenheimer? Are they happy they are destroying humanity/work/etc for future and not-so-future generations?

Anyone who thinks this will be like the previous work revolutions is nonsense. This replaces humans and will replace them even more on each new advance. What's their plan? Live out of their savings? What about family/friends? I honestly can't see this and think how they can be so happy about it...

"Hey, we created something very powerful that will do your work for free! And it does it better than you and faster than you! Who are you? It doesn't matter, it applies to all of you!"

And considering I was thinking in having a kid next year, well, this is a no.

Have a kid anyway, if you otherwise really felt driven to it. Reading the tealeaves in the news is a dumb reason to change decisions like that. There's always some disaster looming, always has been. If you raise them well they'll adapt well to whatever weird future they inherit and be amongst the ones who help others get through it

Thanks for taking the time to answer instead of (just) downvoting. I understand your logic but I don't see a future where people can adapt to this and get through it. I honestly see a future so dark and we'll be there much sooner than we thought... when OpenAI released their first model people were talking about years before seeing real changes and look what happened. The advance is exponential...
