I get the feeling that if some had their way, we would bury the technology and never speak of it again.

Probably too late for that even if we wanted to.
Some days, it feels like the singularity arrived already and nobody noticed.

You are 100% correct, many do. Though for me, as an engineer, as well as others, we saw it coming from a long way off, though right now, say for doing actual work, I saw an article in an engineering magazine that it shows about a 10-15% failure rate, so there is realistically about 90% more work to go, as that last 10% takes ten times what the initial work took. So in truth the timeline is still intact.

My point is that a mathematically transformed copy is still a copy. And while the software itself isn't outputting a copy, it still contains some sort of register.
Some kind of register is being kept inside these models.
It was a bunch of out-of-touch "journalists", only a fraction of white collar workers, not a majority or even a plurality, just a very vocal private club with connections.
Until we are out of jobs to be actually done? The first advancements freed labor that allowed people to work on other things other than mere survival and the freed time allowed people to create new jobs to be done. Now, we are at a point were many jobs provide little to no value and even these are going away.

Yep, and it's just a question of how long we (the west/NA) decide to pretend this isn't true, to prop up the economy.

It contains a probability distribution.
A jpeg is a lossy image format that takes away minor details in order to store the image at a smaller size.
I can see some comparisons to that probability distribution and a lossy format like a jpeg. I can also see alot of differences - because while you are able to recreate lossy copies of certain works, I think that’s less and less true of other works especially if many different images in the training data share similar key word tags while being radically different.

There are examples of the entire govt of a nation basically being a crime ring, or of a leader literally eating cake on live tv while his people go hungry, or military being deployed against thier own civilian neighbors for questioning the govt, of all sort of evils.
If you talk about the future like very govt will do all those things, it’s still cynical.
Okay? You might want to examine the possibility that that’s a you thing, not a “the world is declining” thing.
The singularity kicked off in the nineties. At least with the arrival of the cell phone. Try to explain what we are at to a Victorian. "Well it is like the letters page in the Times but in real time"

No, I think not. However the examples are all political so I'll bow out. I'm not talking some minor dictatorship. I'm talking about my own Canadian government.
