Sam Altman is comparing AI scientists to Manhattan Project scientists, realizing the world will never be the same. https://blossom.primal.net/c57ef0a309c88a72c1499f2d2b7e6b81e87af1523182ddc4b06896d82449ae0d.mp4

That guy’s such a bellend… “oh it might be the end of the world but I can only really tell if you give me trillions of $”.
Maybe just not give him trillions of $? Just a thought…
Heck yeah !
Interestingly, some Manhattan project scientists were against the tests, finding them to be too early and dangerous for the whole world. They were worried about a 1:300,000 probability they missed something and the reaction caused by the explosion could burn the whole atmosphere.
The possibility of AGI going rouge and doing god knows what is much higher. It will be more intelligent than all of the humans combined after all, so we don’t know if it might decide that some megapolis is on the way of some more important cause.
I am not a fan of doom theories, but I believe we need tighter safety measures. Not sure how they should be put into place, but caution never harmed anyone so far AFAIK.
I understand. I've read about the Manhattan Project thoroughly over the years. It's fascinating. (And I loved the TV series 🤩)
The problem with tighter safety measures and AI regulations is that no country wants to do that and hinder themselves versus their adversaries or on a global scale. It's a really hard selling point.
Wow, didn’t see the TV series. Sounds like a must watch!
Thanks for the tip.
It was a short drama, but I enjoyed it.
Had this moment last year. Tough moment
You misspelled Scam.
I like this. When people realize no one can know the future, we do better.
Nothing this guy says it’s true.
Can’t get people further from each other on a spectrum but a great conversation we rarely get to hear
