We only have 3 years left until AI destroys or severely harms humanity, according to a former OpenAI employee. https://futurism.com/the-byte/openai-insider-70-percent-doom

first note i read waking up, give me five minutes, derek

Sorry, I do be like this sometimes.

all love. xo

businesses in the midst of a hyperbolic rise on the market tend to engage in hyperbolic rhetoric

this is just a deflection anyway, from the fact that the elites are planning a 10% haircut on the human population numbers, because that's how they roll, and have rolled for 10000 years

Jokes on them. I cut my own hair.

i knew i keep hearing the crying out of millions being extinguished disturbing teh force every month from somewhere 🤣

haha, i don't cut my hair, haircuts are for conformists, i like it au naturel

No one wants to see my comb over 😭

nobody wants 10% to be combed over either

Which means we have six months or 15 years.

Can we shoot for 15 years? I have a lot left I want to see and do.

Ok, I'll talk to the guy.

Send him a text so the AI can read it.

No need, I already have an NFC in my palm running from my brain stem and he gets all my thoughts and knowledge everytime I pickup my iphone

"THE WORLD ISN’T READY, AND WE AREN’T READY."

I love sensational BROOOOTAL headlines like that from a company making that exact technology that’s supposed to kill everybody

Hmm. I do agree with that portion. The vast majority of the world is not ready for full blown AGI. It raises a lot of existential questions that many won't be able to deal with or rationalize.

It would be hilarious if OpenAI used a fake Arnold Schwarzenegger voice for their AI as a troll 😂

Terminator

What we currently see are theories from the 60s and 70s

We just reached the computational power to try it out finally.

AI is dumb as hell which all the models prove every day. It’s nothing intelligent about its it’s just smart guessing

This.

I didn’t realize how old the ideas were. I definitely think people in general hyper inflate AI in its current state.

lol. The AI nerds are the cringest of all the nerds. Bunch of dorks who are virgins for a reason.

Wait a minute. Didn't you make an AI? 😂😂

Yeah. And I’ve stated many times, that it’s all a big scam. It’s a glorified semantic search engine at best. Nothing alive, nothing sentient, and nothing special by any stretch of the imagination.

Oh I know brother. I'm just having some fun. Keep building and see you in a few days.

🥱 that article was a nothing-burger with zero technical explanation of attack vector

They won't tell us how they're going to attack us. They're smarter than that! 😂

Sounds like pro-regulation propaganda 😂

I hadn't thought of that, but that's possible.

I know how. I've watched all of the Terminator movies, trice.

oh shit here we go again. Let me get my end of the world go-bag. Only used it four times in 20 years.

5th times a charm.

AI is the new climate. 😅

I think this one is serious. AI is really not something we should be racing to develop...prudence and caution are warranted.

"Just because you can doesn't mean you should...."

I just don't think extremely good predictive test can become sentient. I'm not an expert by any means.

Why would you assume that?

Seems clear to me that a) humans process information, and use what they already know to make assumptions on new situations b) AI does *exactly* the same...

Therefore...

In their current forms, these "AIs" are only as good as the data that they've been fed.

Agree 100%, and yet they still IMHO present a significant danger...

Just like virus research, AI is being created without really understanding the risks (or perhaps better stated "ignoring the risks").

It's that arrogance that gave us COVID, and that same hubris is quite evident in the AI field.

Recklessly chasing profit margins is not compatible with maintaining safety margins...

Why 70%?

If he was going to make up a number, he should have used 69%. 😭

This is marketing for OpenAI. It sets the frame that their AI is powerful enough to do this in the first place, when the reality is, it’s not even close. But if you buy this theory, you subconsciously admit that what they’re building is more than just advanced auto complete.

I read an article on this earlier that makes a really good case that tech companies have run out of ways to generate hyper growth, so they’re grasping at straws and hyping this up beyond belief to try to get it again - https://www.wheresyoured.at/rotcombubble/?ref=ed-zitrons-wheres-your-ed-at-newsletter

I don't see how to prevent this from happening eventually but a sentient AI dominating the world in just 3 years sounds more like marketing or begging for regulations than anything else.

On the other hand, the current upscaling of LLMs with huge data centers and new chips and probably new power plants scares me for other reasons. These tools might not be sentient but there are enough "sentient" psychopaths that might use these tools against whole populations. LLMs would allow you to harvest the social networks for likely wrong-thinkers and make their lives hell without much human intervention. And when they try to do anything about it, label them as terrorists and send some drones with face recognition to their cellphone coordinates. Well ... it's getting sci-fiy but it's not technologically impossible to do this today.

Agree. I think AI is a good, powerful tool that can greatly help humanity, but with everything, people can use good tools for bad acts. That's scary.

My guess is that greed will be paramount. And actors will use it to create an even bigger wealth divide.

I don't understand why some people would actively make others miserable in order to get ahead - of them. But this attitude exists and with LLMs you can cause a great deal of damage already.

I hear a new theory is that AI is just the greatest marketing scam for the linear algebra industry 🤣

don't listen to them in 3 years Global warming would have done more damage than AI

It's possible.

economic collapse either way

All jokes aside, yes, we're headed that way. I feel that Bitcoin is a ray of hope here though.

totally, that's why we're here on #nostr building the new World already

We’ve definitely moved over the event horizon. The percentage of people that are willing to just adjust their blinders if the BS doesn’t directly impact them is insurmountable. Just one example: The U.S. creating more money than the value of Japan’s GDP, each year, for multiple years, doesn’t bother most people.

Scale fast using cheap debt, declare yourself the best because you grew fastest even though you really got there by taking on the most debt, demand regulation of your competition "to protect the consumer" (you are here)

Tech industry 101.

A tale as old as...two decades again.

So what he's saying is, we only have three years for the world's politicians and CEOs to become sentient beings?

the divine will prevails no matter.

This is just some propaganda from ClosedAI to keep the monopole of control over the best models out there. They want the regulation to kill open source models because it's too dangerous ! Imagine terrorist using it !

They are the good guy, they want to protect us ! /s

LOL 😂 The end of the world is near. As always. 😂 https://img-9gag-fun.9cache.com/photo/axoWwAK_700bwp.webp
