What is something you can’t live without, technology wise that saves you time?
I have to say it’s my virtual assistant I’ve made. It saves me a lot of time with making reminders and such alarms for meetings or interviews, music etc.

Because I originally viewed them as gimmicks than actual tools that would be useful.
They’re growing on me as I see their value more and more and they’re not just another fake promise of AI that I’ve grown accustomed to seeing in announcements for new technology.
And partly because I’m still a bit scared of where this can take us as a species. Maybe the current iterations are harmless especially with how frequent their mistakes and misunderstandings are, but this growth and their future potential worries me and I don’t like being apart of their success in that sense.
Yeah I wouldn’t feel guilty in the least my friend, highly competent people are using LLM’s to improve their efficiency. People have an unfounded fear (for now) that AI is going to replace them and their job, but the reality is that someone who is efficiently using AI is going to take their job if they’re not
My fear is less about job security and more with the militarized use of it, to be truthful. It’s inevitable and maybe we won’t hit Skynet levels of AI, but somewhere near there. And just the unknown of new technology and what capabilities we may not even realize as we implement these into more and more existing technology as time moves on, military or not. The fear of what can be possible that we may not even realize until it’s too late. Maybe not ChatGPT, but an iteration or fork later down the road.
It’s probably mostly paranoia on my part. As I write this, I imagine I sound like some people of the past who felt the same about the computer and other tech of past generations too. Though, to their credit, we can see some of the evils of those technologies like the good and bad of the internet in today’s world. Things you couldn’t even begin to describe to someone just 20 years ago that is happening now.
You’re not crazy.
Think of Alfred Nobel: inventor of dynamite and exasperated that it was used for evil, not just for good. Founded the Nobel Peace Prize to make amends.
