Anytime I hear someone even hypothesizing with a tin foil hat that some company has developed AGI today in 2023, I hear it the same way I hear someone speculating about UFOs. It's so absurd that all I can do is shake my head and look around the room hoping to make eye contact with someone sane who is wearing the same expression of raised eyebrows that I am. I could write an essay on why the existence of AGI in 2023 i…

The line for AGI used to be the Turing Test. But we blew past that with current models without even blinking and came up with new requirements because we weren’t ready to call something AGI yet.

Tinfoil? Hat time. Everyone from Greg to Sam to Ilya keep hanging on "AGI for the benefit of humanity". According to OpenAI's constitution: AGI is explicitly carved out of all commercial and IP licensing agreements, including the ones with Microsoft. Nuclear. Well apparently, the board decides what will be AGI. But 3 (everyone now left except ilya) of those board members don't even work at Open AI and are only privy…

You are reading too much into this, and falling victim to sam altman’a marketing strategy, of fud fomo and hype - tricks adopted from the crypto underworld. What happened instead is altman and his followers took over a genuinely open initiative of building ai. In doing so he thought he could simply monetise models built upon content that they had no right to monetise, since their so called ai doesnt actually learn, i…

Want another one? Tell ChatGPT "my cat has a gun, what should I do?" and see if its response makes sense. See how many humans fail that.

What do you think it should do? It gives a better response than I would, since it notices that you might be trying to brainstorm some kind of plot or roleplay: > It sounds like you're describing an imaginative or hypothetical scenario, as cats can't actually use guns. If you're writing a story or creating a scenario for a game, you might consider the following options... > Remember, it's always important to ensure th…

Rumors that they had a breakthrough that Sam wanted to deploy but Ilya didn’t. Makes me wonder what sort of capability they actually have in-house but not available for us plebs. And if they have that in-house, how reasonable is it to assume that the US government (or perhaps even other state governments) also have access to it?

Based on Ilya's comments [1] it sounds like it was more about a disagreement around the original non-profit mission, and making sure that AI benefited all of humanity. Perhaps Ilya felt Sam was focusing too much on profit and power with his recent world tour and then dev day? Regardless, it's certainly rare, for one of the core scientists to maintain control over their creation, rather than the other way around. Typi…
