"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I wouldn't say "solves" so much as answers whether our great filter is ahead of us or behind us (it's the former, btw).
Humans have designed viruses before so ya nothing fermi breaking aqui.
IMO it's more of a case that there are a ton of great filters, some of which we've passed through already, others are still ahead. But all the ones that we've previously passed probably mean that intelligent life capable of advanced technology is very rare, possibly even to the point that we're the only ones in the galaxy.
