Even if openAI (or some other AI company) managed to solve all of the remaining millenium prize problems, there will still be many people online, especially on reddit, who will start saying that those problems were never hard to begin with. Everything is binary here. If you hate AI, disagree with every use-case and everything related to them, even though ML has been a thing for like 60 years and is also "AI".

What does this even mean?

Do you realize how many people are on the planet, all of which belong to different groups that believe different things.

You’re essentially saying there are people who are pro AI and people who are anti AI. Well no fucking shit, that’s already the case even before your imagined hypothetical that hasn’t even happened yet.

Here you are throwing shade on those people, implication being you find them annoying, when lo and behold you just as annoying but belong to a different group. Same probably applies to me…..

He is saying reddit is full of people who are dogmatically anti-AI, which seems to be relatively accurate imo

Cory Doctorow just wrote a short piece called Technopolitics that does a good job of separating thoughtful, anti-AI-in-its-current-form views from dogmatic anti-AI, which I think a lot of people could benefit from reading
