Wong expressed a desire to see more parentless working on AI rather than āchildless singlesā and refers to it as a āson of manā.
eughhh weird vibes all around
on the subject of AI as children/parents Iām gonna drop this article on Geoffrey Hinton and leave it at that https://futurism.com/godfather-ai-bizarre-plan-save-humanity
also this post which is where I got the xAI co-founder statement from, also goes over other things
-the Anthropic team lead quitting (which we already discussed in this thread)
-AI is apparently so good a filmmaker with 7 years of experience said it could do 90% of his work (Edit: I thought this model was unreleased, itās not, this article covers it)
-The Anthropic safety team + Yoshua Bengio talking about AIs being aware of when theyāre being tested and adjusting their behaviour (+ other safety stuff like deepfakes, cybercrime and other malicious misuses)
-the US government being ignorant about safety concerns and refusing to fund the AI international report (incredibly par for the course for this trash fire of an administration, theyāve defunded plenty of other safety projects as well)
another co-founder has quit praises Elongated Muskrat (lmfao) and says recursive-self improvement in the next 12 months and 100x productivity real soon (alongside those self-driving cars Musk promised back in 2012)
read the whole article, of course Donald Trump is excited about this. Which also guarantees that this will crash and burn in no time at all
well that headline just filled me with dread
neither did I reading this article was my first exposure to him
the aforementioned wikipedia page has got some criticisms of his works under the critical reception section
this article involving an incredibly eyebrow-raising take from one of the people at METR (the team behind the famous ātasks AI can do doubles every 7 monthsā graph) saying AI is eventually going to become more impactful than the invention of agriculture and more transformative than the emergence of the human species and also calls it an intelligent alien species. Immensely funny amongst the other people saying āplease stop treating AI like magicā
the Harari guy also seems to be into transhumanism if a skim of his wikipedia page is correct. The āthis is the first time in history that we have no idea what the world will look like in 10 yearsā thing is also an eyebrow-raiser. I could probably rattle off a couple examples (ie the two world wars)
OpenAI is probably toast tldr OpenAIās financial situation is more cooked as a big investor shows doubt, WeWork 2 imminent
Deploying chatbots into high-stakes situations with absolutely zero safety regulations. Surely this will have zero consequences and go completely fine
āweāre scared weāve crossed a lineā
ā¦seeking money from the UAE and Qatar didnāt count as crossing a line?
just one more data centreās gonna do it! just give me a couple million more bucks!
also completely leaving out important context on the Iran/stuxnet example, in that it was a joint effort between two countries believed to have been in development for five years. The idea that AIs will engage in lightspeed wars and disable all critical infrastructure in a single day while speaking in alien languages and creating alliances is unreasonable extrapolation of the capabilities. Also completely ignored the segment where the Anthropic team implemented safeguards and communicated with the teams behind the software to patch out the bugs. Itās the most blatant fearmongering ever. Thank god the comments contain reasonable responses and breakdowns of the post. That channelās way of highlighting papers just pisses me off
community posts have been a thing for like, two years now? three?
