Large disagreement with Metaculus (which resolves earlier than this)

@JacobPfau Metaculus is much less doomy than Manifold. I hope they're right.

I realized that betting NO here is mostly a bet against <5yr timelines.

We wanted flying cars and we got “sorry I’m large language model with …”

We wanted moral philosophy and we got sbf-simpistry

We wanted open AI and instead we got communist global world government merger cartels of work hall
