Can it create employment? How is this making life better. I understand the achievement but come on, wouldn´t it be something to show if you created employment for 10000 people using your 20000 USD!

Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, XAI, all solving the wrong problems, your problems not the collective ones.

"Employment" is not intrinsically valuable. It is an emergent property of one way of thinking about economic systems.

That’s the most HN reply ever. Obtuse and pedantic.

Tell a struggling undergrad or unemployed that “employment” is not intrinsically valuable, maybe they’ll be able to use the rhetoric to move a couple positions higher in a soup kitchen queue before their food coupons expire.

For employment I mean "WHATEVER LEADS TO REWARD COLLECTIVE HUMANS TO SURVIVE".

Call it as you wish, but I am certainly not talking about coding values.

Didn't you hear? We're heading towards a workless utopia where everything will be free (according to people who are actively working to eliminate things like food assistance for less fortunate mothers and children.)

Who are some of those people?

Obviously a human in the loop is always needed and this technology that is specifically trained to excel at all cognitive tasks that humans are capable of will lead to infinite new jobs being created. /s
