That's fairly bold to ask for ~6% of the total world economy as well as a sizable chunk of the world's energy.
I was about to ask for the other 94%...
.000000001 percent of that…. Please
so... fifty bucks?
$100,000,000,000,000 × 0.00000000001 is $1,000!
I'd happily take that
ah, I was starting with the OpenAI's goal, not the total world economy for some reason.
LOL yes I did the same math. Dude had one wish and he blew it!
“No please, Mr. Genie I meant .000000001 not .00000000001%!”
Genie: so $5,000? (Snaps fingers)
See now, they need to ask for more like 25% of the total world economy. That way what they actually want is gonna seem like a great deal.
AI will double the world’s economy so they’re basically giving us an extra 94% for free.
The world economy cannot double without destroying the planet's ability to sustain us.
inagine it like putting the middle classes wealth in a blender.
But instead of a delicious smoothie, it makes that toxic dust like the will it blend videos.
That's called inflation.
