Title: Andrej Karpathy (director of artificial intelligence and Autopilot Vision at Tesla) on Twitter today:<p><pre><code>  I am cautiously and slightly unnervingly looking forward to the gradual and inevitable unification of language, images&#x2F;video and audio in foundation models... They will be endowed with agency over originally human APIs: screen+keyboard&#x2F;mouse in the digital realm and humanoid bodies in the physical realm. And gradually they will swap us out.
</code></pre>
I work professionally in the machine learning field. Some of my colleagues and myself are realizing that we&#x27;re pursuing goals that will reduce the value of human intelligence and creativity, commoditizing them.<p>Pandora&#x27;s Box has been opened.<p>As a society we can reject this technology. Reject automated artwork like Dall-E 2, reject automated literature, and so on. Reject technologies that replace the human mind instead of assisting it.<p>For example, if we refuse to pay for self-driving taxis on moral grounds (the same way we might refuse to eat factory-farmed chickens) society can make these businesses unprofitable.<p>In your opinion, would a social movement organized around this idea find traction?
