Just over an hour left to vote in this poll. And it's pretty interesting; a lot of votes, and a dead heat.
And there's a lot of disbelief about whether or not such a machine can *even be built*.
So let me up the stakes: this poll is informing whether or not to do a writeup on how to build *exactly this system*.
And I'm currently leaning towards writing it up, if for no reason other than because I'm annoyed I'm being told there's no way to do this other than just LLM-maxxing it, both by LLM fans and detractors.
A hypothetical: Imagine I held a magic wand that could make AI systems improve in all the following ways:
- More environmentally friendly
- Less capturable by a few large corporations
- Less built on "plagiarism machine" foundations
- More reasonable and capable of making judgements which are explainable, accountable, and more accurate
- More participatory and open
However, we are still left in our present socioeconomic system.
Should I wave the magic wand and improve things, or does improving AI in these ways still make the world worse?
