An engineer can halt a training run, but a corporation cannot stop a profitable enterprise. And as more groups join the race, the only button they manufacture for themselves to press is ACCELERATE.

I believe that models like GPT-4 are already incredibly powerful tools, but this is very dependent on who uses them, and I think that at the moment more than 95% of the population, if not 99%, hasn't even understood what they are and their potential.

As a analyst testing AI prompts almost on a regular basis, I can confirm that we would only reach AGI only in an increamental way. It won't be radical. But as Sam mentioned, small step would def take you there. Currently, people are out of their freak out period of GPT4. It's not perfect but it is still helping us to make daily tasks easier.

Please upload the full program 🙏 🙂

Thing is.. He's gotta walk a fine line between hype, and not scaring governments too much.. AGI will be huge, and it will quickly lead to ASI, which is even more world-changing. Some parts of how humans like to live won't change, but a LOT will. The idea that everyone will always be able to compete for a job, for their survival, needs to be the first mentality we let go of.

He avoided most of the questions, specially the last one.. 😢

glad they have a config file in case stuff goes south.

00:45 As humans we have a insatiable greed of curiosity that will be our downfall
-
2 week freakout? 40% lose their job? Satya is smirking!! He will not lose his millions

I like the statement about "tight feedback loop with the world". That's a real statement. On the flip side, whomever can't see socialism at this point is blinded by greed. A world where we can all be happy, even without the most amount of stuff and events, etc. Or a world where I can be happy at someone else's expense (or vice versa).

Those guys give me the same vibes as Stockton Rush trying to sell trips to the Titanic

"Knowledge is no longer power; ownership is. Bestowing the world with knowledge, absent a means to utilize it, breeds frustration."

This video said absolutely nothing

New development of OpenAI is incredibly changing the destiny of humans and the whole world. Mom and I would like to thank y'all so much for continued life support ❤❤ The court is functioning for the right purposes 🙏🏽

Just shutdown datacenter power, very simple.

May be the "AGI" will redefine the meaning of the word "Job" in future.

AI is making those who use it wisely increasingly more intelligent in ways that reading books or listening to lectures cannot achieve. It can be used interactively, thereby "customizing" the learning process = accelerated knowledge. This is just one example of its power. We can never go back.

These guys are so full of it. I don't trust a single word that they say.
