Here's what to look forward to during this groundbreaking lecture:In 1930, economist John Maynard Keynes predicted "Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren" meant 15hr work weeks, following after one hundred more years of toil. We are less than four years out. The machines arrived roughly on schedule, the free time did not. I spent years writing the kind of code a computer now writes in seconds. Marginal cost of anything that can be quantitatively achieved is approaching zero, but deciding where to aim the machines and upholding our relationships to each other remain solely human responsibilities. I have yet to see one fundamentally new primitive solution from LLMs: they seem to only speed up the systems we have, negative externalities included.The story told about artificial intelligence today is dire. It's easier than ever for governments and corporations to appropriate our commons and sell them back to us. All the while our ecosystem doesn't care about how CO2 enters the atmosphere. While the short-term future feels like one of monopoly and exploitation, I hope my story is a testament to a long-term hope of individual agency and collective wisdom.Caleb Bornman is a software engineer, photographer, and tinkerer in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and the founder of Iris Automation Systems, where he builds embedded firmware, web/IOT applications, vision systems, and his own independent projects.
