Cognitive Elite Splits Into AI-Dependent And AI-Skeptical Groups

Original post

In the last 12-18 months, a divergence has began among the global cognitive elite; both, I fear, have passed their respective point of no return. Group A can no longer be productive without AI. Group B has formed a stubborn reality bubble where AI doesn't work, and is ngmi.

Cluster A LLM psychosis: "gwahaha my 11th Claude-MAX-20X sub will surely Ratatouille me out of the permanent underclass!… wow it solved quantum gravity too" Cluster B LLM psychosis: "The Big Token has forced Terry Tao into debt slavery to have him use LLMs for research math"

in 2019-2023, I was arguing with a smart dude who insisted that OpenAI had just hired tons of Indians to rewrite all Wikipedia into formal logic and Cyc-like ontology; then, that GPT-4 is Indians typing real fast. Today, a friend told me Tao feigns enthusiasm for LLM in math.

this is a closed memetic surface. I don't think they can climb out, at least not fast enough. The latter guy has an unbreakable doctrine: everyone dumber or less qualified than him (eg me) is just wrong, and everyone smarter than him who disagrees is a bought liar. dead end.
