  • This is just the smallest tip of the iceberg.

    I’ve been working with gpt-4 since the week it came out, and I guarantee you that even if it never became any more advanced, it could already put at least 30% of the white collar workforce out of business.

    The only reason it hasn’t is because companies have barely started to comprehend what it can do.

    Within 5 years the entire world will have been revolutionized by this technology. Jobs will evaporate faster than anyone is talking about.

    If you’re very smart, and you begin to use gpt-4 to write the tools that will replace you, then you MIGHT have 10 good years left in this economy before humans are all but obsolete.

    If you’re not staying up nights, scared shitless by what’s coming, it’s because you don’t really understand what gpt-4 can do.






  • You don’t need another example if you understand how many people are covered in that category.

    Do you have any idea how many people have at least 5 minutes of audio on YouTube? (That’s all you need for voice cloning), tens of millions? Hundreds of millions?.. And how many of them have a Facebook, insta, tic Tok, or Twitter account? Virtually all of them.

    If you wrote a script to do what I outlined, it would run FOREVER, because he users would be signing up and making videos faster than this script could ever hope to keep up.



  • I’m sorry, but your assessment of how difficult that would be is WAAAAAY off.

    Scammers are already doing stuff like this en masse with highly customized email scams.

    The way this scam would work is to start with YouTubers, where grabbing the voice data is easy. Then you find their Facebook profile… Very easy, since people use the same usernames, or they go out of their way to link their profiles.

    It’s a pretty easy step to make friend requests with those people. And then a very easy leap to find their relatives real names and towns through their Facebook connections.

    Now you take their connections and towns and do reverse phone number lookups.

    ALL of this can be automated. Every step.

    The voice cloning and gpt-powered phone calls can be automated now, too.

    The only reason this isn’t happening at scale is that scammers haven’t had enough time to adapt yet.
