The tech that exists so far haven't had the potential to replace every job on earth, that's the real difference for me.
This really doesn't either tbh. But that's certainly what they're selling.
How do you know what the limits of this technology is? How do you know that they couldn't be able to reach that point in 5-10-20-50-100-1000 years?
Unless you're thinking of the current iteration of the technology and not its future evolutions.
Its future iterations that are definitely not this?
Sure, I don't know.
I'd wager we'll probably reach climate collapse / political crises that throw us off course before a "Westworld-esque" thing is ever possible.
People don't seem to realize that these tech leaders are all just weaponizing your imagination against you (a.k.a. using a sales technique). GPUs and LLMs aren't skynet no matter how much people want to project that onto them.
Nvidia cares maybe even less about the outcome than I do, they'll sell you all the pickaxe you want to buy in the AI gold rush.
