Because it's a miracle technology. Both of those things are also engineering problems - ones that have been massively mitigated already. You can run models almost as good as gpt3.5 on a phone, and individuals are pushing the limits on how efficiently we can train every week

They literally promise the fountain of youth, autonomous robots, better materials, better batteries, better everything. It's a path for our species to break our limits, and become more.

The downside is we don't know how to handle it. We're making a mess of it, but it's not like we could stop... The AI alignment problem is dwarfed by the corporation alignment problem
