Ah, open letter didn't work so billionaires ran to the regulators and paid them off.

Well we gotta do something, so far we tried nothing and are already out of ideas.

Should be halted allowing the competition time to bring their AI to market.

How has this narrative sprung up so quickly and spread so widely.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Letter_on_Artificial_Intelligence

https://futureoflife.org/open-letter/ai-open-letter/

Back in 2015 the same org drafted an open letter and announced potential issues with AI's and that was years before any sort of commercialization effort.

There are alignment researchers who have signed the letter, both times.

Current models cannot be controlled or explained in fine grain enough detail to control (the problem is being worked on by people like Neel Nanda and Chris Olah but it's still very early stages and they need more time and people working on the problem)

The current 'safety' measures are bashing at a near infinite whack-a-mole board whenever it outputs something deemed wrong and it is far from 'safe'

I love humans but our cynicism isn't going to be some sort of sheild that is going to save us.

Billionaires hiring Redditors even.

Give it up old men. We will never do homework again. We will cease to even name our own children. The time of synthetics has dawned and you will be assimilated.
You will eat the bugs crafted by expert AI chefs.

Open AIs competition wants Open AI to stop crushing them

what a surprise

EDIT: of course, there are very serious issues to discuss around AI

but these yahoos pissed away fortunes on crypto, Web 3.0, NFTs, and the Meta-Verse and are now blindsided by AI

they want a “pause” so they can catch up

More like openai is going to follow the same path as crypto, web 3.0, nfts, metaverse no matter what the competitors/billionaires or everyone else does. As problem complexity grows, the only thing that becomes obvious is everyone is full of shit.

It’s a free market baby. Shut up and move on, losers

Bro you're about to become obsolete in that free market I just hope you realize that.

If you think you had a hard enough time convincing a company you were worth 150k before you're definitely not worth it now LOL

I've never been worth anything more than 64K. I'm sure it'll suck for you software engineers but ... meh. You didn't care that I wasn't making what you were making. Why should I care now that you'll make less too?

Have fun adapting to something that is going to be faster and smarter than all of humanity combined.

DeeplyTroubledSmurf t1_jedkmpe wrote

I would like to go on public record as fully supporting the idea of giving AI unfettered access to the internet with the ability to execute self-written code. There is definitely no chance that it could evolve in unpredictable ways at speeds we can't comprehend!

We are toast, be good to people, tell everyone you love them, get your bucket list done, enjoy every breath you have left.

First order should be to investigate who funds them and who stands to gain. I bet it has nothing to do with "security" or "safety". It's all about money and those missing out on the AI race.

How does one create something smarter than itself but also can think at incredible speed under their control?

Im_bad_at_commenting t1_jee80gr wrote

They sound like NOKIA in 2008. Clueless and stuck in their own little world while iPhone was starting to crush them.

Not gonna happen.

Our free market works both ways.

Now that there's something that threatens them, they want to shut down competition.

Nope.

To me, these are finally the "smart agents" we were promised back in the day. We're nowhere near AI :/

You're right. To be AI you need to be intelligent. It's in the name.

GomaEspumaRegional t1_jef1ls8 wrote

These things are intelligent, and artificial.

So what it is the issue?

moses420bush t1_jefrh9m wrote

Are they actually intelligent?

GomaEspumaRegional t1_jefx5w5 wrote

Intelligent in the sense that it can apply its learnings yes, sentient in the sense that can extract qualitative meaning not.

The only thing that should be addressed is that openai is still called openai

AmateurBusinessGoose t1_jedfok8 wrote

Idk why you all are cheering AI on.

If the suits can replace us with an AI they will.

I for one AM NOT OKAY with that idea.

nemesit t1_jedtac4 wrote

The suits are the easiest thing to replace with ai

PierG1 t1_jee9hfv wrote

Pretty sure AI can replace higher paying, more intellect based, jobs way more easily than a skilled carpenter.

UNSECURE_ACCOUNT t1_jeeeia8 wrote

Yup. If you're a programmer or a graphic designer, be worried. You're not going to make an AI that can collect water samples and analyze them in the lab so my job is safe.

Just hang on tight! There is no way in hell any of it is stopping. The politicians will be worried about other nations winning the race.

Who knows what the future will hold. I think there is hope though

There's still too many "move fast and break things" regards out there. Hubris will hopefully get them got eventually.

People on here are all completely distracted by Elon, as if all this is a ploy of some kind. Yet almost nobody read the underlying papers about (for instance) the power-seeking behaviour raw GPT-4 showed.

Werent billionaires just crying about the birthrate declines and how they will be low in meat for the grinder? Now AI is a problem because it will cut jobs and create unemployment??

I think theres some butthurt piss babies throwing a tantrum because their AI isnt ready

No, it asked for the NLP models that are successors to gpt4 to be paused. Not all AI, not gpt4.
