Maybe it can also answer the question "Why do we have to be such doomers"? Can't we appreciate what an incredible opportunity these systems can be?

1) We are forever in 'cold war', nuclear weapons can destroy the eart multiple times over since 70 years ago. Not sure how a less potent weapon supercedes this fact

2) Those models are successful with computer code because programmers have been very pro-open source and open-data since forever. We 'll have open source versions of those things soon -- we ll still need to find the hardware but i think this can be done too. Much easier to do than a nuclear bomb so i expect these systems to become ubiquitous

I wish biology and medicine have had a similar attitude to open data and open science. Imagine if you could run similar queries in genome databases or neuroscience images.

3. First we get excited, then some people will turn that fun tech to billions as before

I really don't remember people being such doomers when the internet came about. What happened?

Thanks, needed that bit of optimism.

On the code completion side, I'm already feeling the pain of having to interact linearly with Copilot. Would be nice to have a few different panes - "written description", "suggested changes", and "autocomplete", and have them update each other. Just having autocomplete is like peeping through a keyhole.
