  • Amen! (sorry i couldn’t stop myself.)

    I haven’t identified as Christian since reading the bible and realizing god is portrayed as some fucked up attention craving psycho.

    But fictional Jesus is like the OG embodiment of woke. He doesn’t need to be real for the philosophy to be. If only more people followed his literal example.


  • No need to clarify what you meant with the oligarchs theres barely any exaggeration there. Ghouls is quite accurate.

    Considering the context of a worst case possible scenario (hostile takeover by an artificial superior) which honestly is indistinguishable from general end of the world doomerism prophecies but very alive in the circles of Sutskeva i believe safe ai consistent of the very low bar of

    “humanity survives wile agi improves the standards of living worldwide” of course for this i am reading between the lines based on previously aquired information.

    One could argue that If ASI is created the possibilities become very black and white:

    • ASI is indifferent about human beings and pursues its own goals, regardless of consequences for the human race. It could even find a way off the planet and just abandon us.

    • ASI is malaligned with humanity and we become but a. Resource, treating us no different then we have historically treated animals and plants.

    • ASI is aligned with humanity and it has the best intentions for our future.

    For either scenario it would be impossible to calculate its intentions because by definition its more intelligent then all of us. Its possible that some things that we understand as moral may be immoral from a better informed perspective, and vice versa.

    The scary thing is we wont be able to tell wether its malicious and pretending to be good. Or benevolent and trying to fix us. Would it respect consent if say a racist refuses therapy?

    Of course we can just as likely hit a roadblock next week and the whole hype dies out for another 10 years.


  • No i applaud a healthy dose of skepticism.

    I am everything but in favor of idolizing silicon valley gurus and tech leaders but from Sutskeva i have seen enough to know he is one of the few to actually pay attention to

    Artificial Super intelligence or ASI is the step beyond AGI (artificial general intelligence)

    The later is equal or better in capacity to a real human being in almost all fields.

    Artificial Super intelligence is defined (long before openai was a thing) as transcending human intelligence in every conceivable way. At which point its a fully independent entity that can no longer be controlled or shutdown.



  • Our singular focus means no distraction by management overhead or product cycles, and our business model means safety, security, and progress are all insulated from short-term commercial pressures.

    This is the guy who turned against Sam for being to much about releasing product. I don’t think he plans on delivering much product at all. The reason to invest isn’t to gain profit but to avoid losing to an apocalyptic event which you may or may not personally believe, many Silicon Valley types do.

    A safe Ai would be one that does not spell the end of Humanity or the planet. Ilya is famously obsessed with creating whats basically a benevolent AI god-mommy and deeply afraid for an uncontrollable, malicious Skynet.




  • He’s the guy that tried to stay true to the mission, realized that Sam was becoming a problem. Had little business sense to calculate the drama that ensued.

    Realized that openAI getting destroyed in a single week was worse then having Sam run it. (Micrososoft and google where just going to gobble up the void)

    Then was forced into compliance by Sam who had conditions to return. Add in the fact there long time Personal friends, Sam is a super high level speaker while Ilya usually keeps to themselves. The super stressful days everyone was on during the times.

    You may understand why he didn’t want to continue fighting and just eased into a slow leave to do better elsewhere.


  • Well you could always just use the proper name. The cc license in question IS anti commercial. A great deal of ai is opens source and non commercial and to those cc is fair game. But if commercial is where you draw the line then envoking this license may do.

    Calling it “anti-ai” when its not removes power from your argument. Your invoking something that does not exit and linking to something seemingly unrelated.

    Now the bigger question i have, have had since i have seen people do this.

    Why is there still not an actual anti-ai license? Seems obvious that there is a need for it? I dont know much about how licenses are created but it strikes me as odd.






  • Its true i do worry about shit ai being plastered within our devices but if you cut through the marketing you see a whole mix of machine learning and ai is used under the hood.

    Some of these tools like ms paint auto removing backgrounds. And personal assistant like siri talking more fluently does seem like an improvement.

    I have no hopes for winfows rewind but even for that we must admit its not actually available yet. Neither is apple ai.

    So we are simply assuming that all of the tools they may put in are bad based on some current stupid ideas that are explored.






  • In a normal conversation sure.

    In this kind Turing tests you may be disqualified as a jury for asking that question.

    Good science demands controlled areas and defined goals. Everyone can organize a homebrew touring tests but there also real proper ones with fixed response times, lengths.

    Some touring tests may even have a human pick the best of 5 to provide to the jury. There are so many possible variations depending on test criteria.
