Yeah, his stories were about those gaping holes and how things go horribly wrong because of them.

What the three laws of robotics didn't predict, is how much our current AI is pure heuristics, and so it doesn't quite have the ability to strictly follow rules, or even interpret rules in an unambiguous manner.

Hard-coded behaviors cannot express the abstract ideas in those laws, while the ML part cannot be relied upon to accurately behave.

In a strange twist of events... their massive Series B round was led by SBF "The [$580M] Series B follows the company raising $124 million in a Series A round in 2021. The Series B round was led by Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO of FTX. The round also included participation from Caroline Ellison, Jim McClave, Nishad Singh, Jaan Tallinn, and the Center for Emerging Risk Research (CERR)." https://www.anthropic.com/news/announc…

When someone pays you with stolen funds, aren't you (morally, if not legally) obliged to pay it back to the victims?

good question, but îd say doing so means the end of whole industries (luxury comes to mind)

OpenAI would be positively thrilled to give SBF back his money and cancel his shares. I’m not sure his creditors would similarly salivate at that deal. (EDIT: Nvm.)

The parent is talking about Anthropic (https://www.anthropic.com/), not OpenAI.

Is there any reason to believe that the first open source chat GPT clone won't consume most mindshare, a la stable diffusion?

My theory is that OpenAI is preying on venture capital, and they don't care who wins long term. As long as they're first to get the freshest ideas on the biggest computers, they can secure a large sum of money.

And do what with it?
