推文指出作家托马斯·品钦早在1984年就预言了人工智能、分子生物学和机器人技术融合将带来的根本性挑战。他与道格拉斯·亚当斯等作家被视为准确预见LLM世界不可预测性与颠覆性的先知。品钦当年强调,这种技术汇流将创造令人惊叹且难以预料的局面,即使权威机构也可能措手不及,这一洞察在当今AI快速发展背景下显得尤为深刻。
Of course Pynchon would call this correctly 40 years ago: "It will be amazing and unpredictable, and even the biggest of brass, let us devoutly hope, are going to be caught flat-footed."
He and Douglas Adams are some of the best prophets of the weirdness of the LLM world.
