.. yeah, and yet we still manage to have agency and reshape the world? I don't understand your point. Current AI methods are more 'evolve a huge complicated weird thing' than 'understand how it works and design it'.
If you don't understand it, there is no hope of coding for it.
evolution did it, why can't we do it? Even if some new thing above neural nets is necessary, we're going to work very hard on it.
evolution is not a person, it's a process, one which we cannot replicate in a practical capacity with LLM.
this is the same thing as 'a cop killed a black guy wrongly once so all cops are racism'. you're comically overgeneralizing a newsworthy culture-war-adjacent event to everything. Regulation has opponents, opponents that care more about big piles of money and power than saying bad words online.
the thing you don't understand about regulation is that, more often than not, it is used by the incumbent actors in a space as a barrier to entry for new and more agile competitors. There is a reason Altman is all for it and in the same month there was a leaked Google memo that basically said that OAI, google, facebook et all didn't have a moat.

Why can't AI have its own agency and take world-reshaping actions just like humans do?
1.- because we don't even know what intelligence is or how to measure it in ourselves
2.- there is no path that I have seen ilustrated by the doomer crowd that takes us from the glorified autocomplete programs we have now to skynet; it's always and then they magically decide to kill us all so that they can make more paperclips.
3.- the lobotomies the mainstream LLM's are subjected to today and the fear of fake news and new regulation are enough to shutdown any dream of independent thought for any future AI.

sorry, wasn't very clear. What I'm referring to in "I think this advancements will render a great many people unemployed with its accompanying social unrest." isn't GPT 4.5 specifically, but the entire field of language models. I don't think they are still there but I imagine GPT 6 or 7 will be enough to take a few thousand jobs; that is if, it isn't lobotomized into oblivion by that point.

OAI just announced last week what could be considered GPT 4.5 in their dev event, including it's integration with a vision solution for uploading images to the LLM and having it interact with it. While I don't consider this in the same realm as AGI nor I think we are in any danger from it exterminating the human race ala Skynet; I think this advancements will render a great many people unemployed with its accompanying social unrest.

This is a common talking point, but the CPI reflects that. Shelter is weighted at about 35%
And how do they determine it?

Title: 'Been Here From the Start' song | Horrible Histories: Black British History | CBBC
If nothing else the tune is catchy. At first I thought it was a parody video, but it looks to be a real BBC music video about Black British History.

focusing on a tiny non-representative sample of the data.
That is the issue in contention as I see it. And besides that I'm just explaining to you why the usage this time may be more valid than the claims of a few activists, if you think it isn't, well ok we agree to disagree.
Who has actually collected the data in a proper way and is reporting much higher numbers than the government?
Right from the bat I can tell you that's not the government, just the Rent/Shelter portion of the CPI is nonsense; so I don't really put much weight on the whole thing.

considering how they calculate the cost of shelter, it wouldn't surprise me.
"Hey Gates! How much would you say would you increase the rent in your mansion if you were to rent it out"
"Dunno, a three fiddly?"

But because this is an opportunity to shit on Democrats/the left nobody feels the need to have falsifiable beliefs anymore.
I think the real reason is because this lived experience is shared by a lot more folk than previous usage of the term and it is easily verifiable by a large amount of people.

What I don't understand is how she thought this one random dude isn't "really" non-binary on the basis of his toxic mansplaining, but a trans woman who commits a violent crime (up to and including raping a female person) is still a woman.
One made her feel bad and the other is something that she might have heard of in the news or been told about by an acquaintance. And it's not about what she thought, it's what she feels.

yeah, I agree that consumers having imperfect information and mistaken beliefs is one of the many distortionary factors that make capitalism not work so well in practice. But hey what can you do, consumers are going to act on their beliefs, true or not..
with this do you mean that the government is the consumer of X?

but also special in that thousands of people with PhD's, from Montana to Mongolia, overwhelmingly agree that its possible to model climate usefully.
Well, they have a vested interest in it, no?
What reason do I have to disbelieve climate science that doesn't also apply to designing bleeding edge microchips, or medicine, or applied physics
that they at least produce the predicted results, be it a bleeding edge chip or a failed attempt at one, weather forecasting as I see it isn't much better than an old man and bad knees.
What makes climate science different?
That is trying to understand a really complex system, that a myriad of special interest have their hands in all kinds of places, and that the system as such began a long long time ago and we don't know much about that period.
I'm back at special pleading that science is a liar in this case in particular.
not this case in particular, you can add Psychology with its replication crisis to the pile and whatever the COVID clusterfuck was.
