I don't know about war, but I'm more interested in where AI goes from here.

We are currently coming around a corner in the information landscape where the majority of content on the Internet may well be AI output. It's going to be interesting seeing how the frontier AI companies deal with separating the wheat from the chaff otherwise, it's not clear to me how they will avoid model collapse from the LLMs being trained on their own excrement.

Statistical content generation isn't going to advance (and will actually regress) if the LLMs are just going to be trained mostly on what they said a few months ago.

Going to war with AI is pointless. It’s not going anywhere.

Acknowledging that the world has already been turned upside down however, rather than burying our head in the sand (present company excluded), is necessary.
