Randomness just introduces branch points into the linear flow of deterministic states. Since you do not control the branch points or create them, this does not give you free will.
Anyone with sufficient intellectual power to grok building AI must be fully aware of the monetization value of the same. If you are navel gazing over AIG taking over humanity you must first step through the stage were capital and AI couple up.
So it is not too much to ask since others who also were aware of the inherent unwanted social distortions that was entirely predictable were relying on these individuals and "non-profit" organizations to actually live up to their claims.
As it is, it seems like a thinly disguised propaganda to recruit and benefit from altruistic and capable workers in the field to then have Sam Altman (and whoever is behind him $$$) to parachute and take over and say "oh well, you can'tn expect people to be truthful and have principles! What are ya, a chump?"
Very nice work. We need brighter fluorescent protein tags that are more compact, in particular in the far red spectrum. The size of current fluorescent protein coding DNA sequences is out of reach of prime editing and still relies on less efficient gene editing technology.
There is only so much that you can get out of tinkering with naturally evolved proteins. I suspect that these kind of tools can be used to generate smaller & brighter FP's in the near future.
I think you're right. A large part of the joy from creative endevours is actually getting good at something, and having other people enjoy your work. In the face of instant high quality generative AI placating the entertainment needs of the masses, we are creating a society where most people are unable to enjoy human creative expression, in part because human artists are just too slow. Attention spans are already shrinking, and after getting used to generative AI, few people will have the patience to wait for an author to write the second part of his magnum opus.
I predict that we will have blockchain integration of media crating devices such that any picture / film that is taken will be assigned a blockchain transaction ID that moment it is generated. We will only trust media with verifiable blockchain encryption that allows us to screen against any tampering from the source.
I doubt it will. Infact, I would be willing to bet good money that china is going to start factory farming the next generation within the next 20 years, using artificial wombs & in vitro fertilization.

Enormously more expensive than producing children the natural way. Given the CCP’s history of using coercion to make people have less kids (forced sterilisation, forced abortion, some even allege infanticide), I would not be surprised if they start coercing people to have more. From an ethical perspective that’s terrible, but why expect a government which hasn’t cared about ethics in the past to start caring about it now or in the future? Coerced natural reproduction is massively cheaper than artificial wombs
