On: Notes on Anthropic's Computer Use Ability

[bamboozled]

Is the point of your comment to make people feel depressed ?

Either we're going to use these tools to augment our abilities or basically just become wiped out, at least our jobs will be, and there is no plan to provide support for anyone. Maybe the tech will make the transition to a post employment world so swift we don't even feel any negative economic effects at all, but let's see.

There is no such bigger point. I'm just trying to look at the situation realistically.

is this a cry for help? there's always alcohol and drugs, they can't take that away from us!

(unless the robots of the future are like Bender)

I'm not saying I am depressed, but I mean, the comment just sounded like such a major downer.

[exe34 → bamboozled]

reality often is, unfortunately.

Depressing hasn’t been the reality for the majority of people over the last 100 years of technological progress. You could die from a scratch or a kidney stone 100s ago.

Maybe this is the cliff , but it feels unlikely.

these things weren't depressing back then, they were normal. you can be depressed anywhere or anywhen, and similarly happy in any circumstances.
