It’s the other way around: tests and materials which we believed made humans distinctive from AI and our “models” of human measurement or standardized tests, seem to fail when examined seriously. They are purported somewhat to prevent computer cheating because we enforce conditions that allow us to claim the results are accurate.

Clearly that is not the case, and the tests or measurements themselves lack much or all value.

What most people believe makes someone’s opinion valuable (economic production, social wanking, allowing and enforcing inequality) is ironically what prevents most of these people from being in a room with actually intelligent people.

Take the case of Grigori Perelman: mathematical genius who created insights into fractal geometry and chaos mathematics who now contributes nothing but his personal disgust at the state of the world and how willing people are to cheat and steal.

Bill Gates has made a lot of money, but he has never made any deep insights or valuable contributions. He can make more money but history will bury the man because he is nothing more than someone who became an exalted dung beetle of wealth. Mindless, brainless, and stacking that shit.

I find this article in the same vein: mostly some shitty business crap that will extol it’s fecal values to the investors and businessmen who are now immune to their own stink.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how AI can reduce some of the world’s worst inequities.

But he fails to mention in the risks how AI can also be a cause of increase for some of the world's worst inequalities due to failure to have representative datasets, or simply by creating an ever increasing technological gap between classes(just 2 off the top of my head).

I’m more inclined to call it the Age of Disinformation

Why do you think this is coming from "GatesNotes"

This guy needs to GTFO out of Humanity at this point.

ANYTHING this guy says about AI is ging to be because he is going to fund AI-Malevolence-Protection-Racket then sell some pre-planned AI-cyber-storm solution that every computer on the planet will be mandated on installing.
