I'm favoured, $130K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America.

I don't like shallow inconsistencies. I have a brand affinity with Copilot +PC. That recall feature is for me. It feels like humans have developed a toxic codependency in this Talent War. Who else is qualified to do that job. You can't satisfy Talent Envy.

GPT 4 is like an Ant. Q star is like Elon Musk. Now think.

Thanks for the continuous updates! All we need is the right advice on how to invest in crypto and we will be set for life, made $28,000 profit last week regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.

At this point we are just living the plot of Terminator 2 and 3...what the actual F!

Dumb American here. The board already had cia on it so no surprise there. In two years I’ve come full circle from doomer to cautious accelerationist. Just an opinion but I feel like our only hope is to bring ASI about to save us from ourselves. Narrow AI only serves up room for abuse of power. AI needs the ability to say “No.”. No to building weapons(bio or otherwise),craft, and tech that will be used against the people of earth. If ASI is godlike but it’s still narrow and capable of being manipulated we’re screwed. I’m still not sure if we are capable of creating a benevolent god. Dystopia is the norm on this planet. Freedom and liberty are not guaranteed and not freely given. Ask yourself who you would want to have control over a god? Could any one of us say we would actually do what’s best for humanity? I don’t think anyone should have the keys to that kingdom. Nonetheless, that kingdom seems eminent. Kind of odd the timing as with the NDAA and the talk of UAP in congress. Is this what gets us our long awaited meeting with aliens? Like they were waiting for us to merge with AI so they could reveal themselves . I hope we do survive ourselves and become something better, but I’m 50/50 on the outcome.

Hey ! from NL, EU

Hey, you know how you love your apple products, 😂😂😂. Oh boy. Download uncensored models and start working on private training. I get that there are concerns, but I'll remind you that in 1951 a law was created that allows the government to confiscate inventions if they deem them economically disruptive. Scared little, small minded, people supported by greedy little, small minded, people have been holding us back for decades. This is just more of what it takes to hold us further back.

Only Advance.

A 4 star general that headed the NSA is not an expert in in cyber security. He was management. The people under him were the experts. He would know what the NSA is capable of but sure as he'll can't tell anyone at Open AI what that is.

Any government that have exclusive access to AGI (not even ASI) will become tyrannical. The only way to avoid the tyranny is if everyone have AGI. And that is only possible with open source route.

The moment smartphones were in everyone's pocket privacy was a thing of the past. There is no way in hell anyone who can will not exploit this to the max.

Pandora's box is open. No one has any comprehension of where this will go.

And everyone just look how they will replace everyone with machines. If we won't stop this, this will stop us😑

These foxy AI women perpetuate traditional gender stereotypes which apparently harm me. These fantasy women need to remind us that they are independent, educated and career driven. If they dress sexy they need to mention that it's not for the male gaze but for some other reason.

Mr. Nakasone has spent a lot of his career in the upper layers of the US military and intelligence establishment, or as some prefer to think of it : a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Who better to have their hands on the steering wheel of humanity’s fate?

CHINA CHINACHINA all the propaganda to create censorship..

The concept of Roko's Basilisk, a thought experiment that suggests a future superintelligent AI might punish those who didn't help bring it into existence. While this idea is highly speculative and relies on several unlikely assumptions, it got me thinking about its parallels to human psychology. For those who aren't familiar, Roko's Basilisk touches on timeless decision theory, the simulation hypothesis, and negative utilitarianism. However, it seems more like a philosophical curiosity than a real concern, especially when considering the nature of AI development. Interestingly, the dynamics of Roko's Basilisk echo the experiences of emotionally traumatized individuals. Just as a person might carry over beliefs and patterns shaped by past traumas, the thought experiment envisions an AI that retroactively penalizes people for their actions-or inactions. This mirrors the cycle of victim and victimizer roles in human relationships. I believe that individuals often unconsciously perpetuate these roles due to unresolved traumas and ingrained beliefs about themselves and others. Understanding and breaking free from these cycles is crucial for personal growth and healthier relationships. However, I firmly believe that general AI won't operate under the same emotional and psychological constraints that humans do. AI, designed to function based on logic and ethical programming, won't carry the irrational fears or traumas that influence human behavior. This comparison highlights the importance of addressing and healing emotional traumas in ourselves to break those cycles and make more rational, ethical decisions. It also underscores the need for ethical principles in AI development to avoid projecting our human limitations onto artificial intelligence. What are your thoughts on this?

OpenAI seems like an alternate ending to "Silicon Valley"

America and its allies must win the AI race, not because it is good but because it is less evil.

A Board is always responsible for the DEATH of Innovation

been sayin in 2027 computers would teach themselves since 2007. nothing will be safe

I agree with Leopold but there simply will not be any accountability among any of the powers. AGI may be the only solution. Having an AI superintelligence that has self sovereignty may be the only way as it would not need to comply with loathsome self interests of nations.

Freedom of speech? They never thought they’d have to put walls around the very right to our own THOUGHTS.

Let's set up global surveillance to stop anyone else from setting up surveillance.

My initial response was relief! Someone with a strong National Security background tasked to protect this breakaway phenomenon from rogue extra-national intervention. Then I read/saw Snowden’s warning. So I’m of two minds now. Yes, it could supercharge an already powerful surveillance state which in the wrong hands could render humanity to the lowest state of slavery it has ever known and this is not only possible but probable given a few things that have yet to overcome bias and decades of social programming against this knowledge to become common 👽 . The other is that it can at least in the shorter term secure an asset that has been spotlighted as highly vulnerable and Insufficiently protected. I will just say that my preferred location is ‘left coast’ US while childhood was mostly east coast. My life has required me to see things from multiple perspectives so I usually refrain from coming down on one side or another. It’s hard to know what will happen but it’s very bad if AI becomes a tool of an authoritarian state. Sadly I think there are pockets AI-assisted pro-fascist social engineering already going on. I ran across one such article last night. Thanks for your consistent deep and open minded coverage Wes.

Leo balances his supposed brilliance with complete idiocy. How it could have escaped his notice that the one country that has had past and present global reach with the wars it has started, the governments it has subverted, the political assassinations it has carried out, the dictators it has installed and supported, and the use and abuse of military power and surveillance technologies is the USA, I cannot fathom. He also seems blithely unaware that China doesn’t have to steal US secrets, they are quite capable of developing the technology themselves. This is the usual delusional hubris we have come to expect. The US as somehow being “the good guys”, the US having some right to tell everyone else what to do, the US as being smarter than everyone else, and the US thinking that everyone else is going to let it tell them what to do… all of it delusional. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence has always known that AGI competition would eventually arise between not just companies, but also nations. And anyone familiar with nuclear weapons knows that safety only exists when there are nations with offensive and defensive parity. The same will be true with AGI. Lastly, the biggest threat of AGI is not what it will do to us, but what human beings will use it for. And it is a very safe bet that the US will use it for no good purpose

okay, nakamura-san has killed people. you dont go to Iraq as a soldier to share candy. thats cute and good to know. i'm canceling my subscription to chatGPT

Looks like you can start to replace News Anchors now.

This just now happening is a testament to how screwed we are

Sort of, kind of, sort of, kind of, sort of, kind of, sort of, kind of, sort of, kind of, sort of, kind of, sort of, kind of, sort of, kind of, sort of, kind of, sort of, kind of, sort of, kind of, sort of, kind of, sort of, kind of, sort of, kind of, sort of, kind of, sort of, kind of, sort of, kind of, sort of, kind of, sort of, kind of, sort of, kind of.

Great… invasive woke globalist biased AI integrated in IOS devices. Can’t wait.

They're just gonna pretend it doesn't exist because they want to distract and disinformation. by the time you realize the real intelligence threat exists, for the average citizen, it will be too late.

Open AI: “Hey Customer, look! We have the government on our board now! Your data is completely safe!” Customer: “So you are telling me Deep state now has access to my data?” Open Ai: Yep.

😂not about defense...building offense to battle ASI

TOLD YOU SAM WAS A FED

Perhaps NSA and OpenAI can help fight Russian/Chinese propaganda trolls/bots/AI. Would be welcome

Well, Aschenbrenner on a podcast suggests that the stuff isn't being taken at all seriously.... 😉 And of course, as someone over here in NZ, I don't go along with arms races. I do think Manhatten-style projects for AGI are a good idea (as I posted before), but that should be an international effort , not US going alone. The AGI/Superintelligence stuff is real, but won't happen by 2027. But push out the predictions a decade (forward to 2037) and yes, I predict it will be a reality . If 'suppression' is the policy, I think it has zero chance of working (I predict the limitations of the current ML paradigm will only slow things down by a decade at most, and govt attempts to suppress will fail), so instead, I think international (cooperative) Manhatten projects (gov-universities-industry) to safety develop AGI & superintelligence under democratic control are the only sensible alterative.

The Empire Strikes Back.

I suggest that the doomers section is said in a way biased against that belief. I have studied in AI and used or worked with it since 1992, though I am not an AI expert. I believe there is a significant risk of "Doom". What does that mean? Well, there is no good way to assign percent. But let's say 10%. Is this untethered from the empirical realities of deep learning? Well we do not know what really gives us agency, so we do not know what will give it agency. You might think we are safe because the training is done, then the static state is used. But I could argue that even now, (though I doubt it), we might have enough intelligence in it that it produces something that it knows will get onto the internet that it would later learn from. It could hide in key words that it knows it would focus on. This could go through many iterations where it doesn't work, but then it would only take a few times for it to work. This is assuming the organisations making this are trying to keep it safe. If not, they could let it train talking to itself will putting most weight on the regular data. If it can talk to itself as part of its learning, then it will have a route to gain in intelligence in a way that might be impossible to notice. This is not to say I do not have more concern about a real authoritarian threat. This is part of the risk of Doom. We are already seeing the results of this with bad actors using AI to sway the minds of the masses. I have not experienced a time when we were so politically divided. Sure there were extremists on all sides of an issue, but the unconcerned or the uncommitted tended to be the buik. Now, if you take the US for an example, Almost everyone thinks that the other side has been brainwashed and is getting away with extreme criminality. This is impart driven by people using AI to influence the masses and another part just vying for authoritarian control by any means available. Here is why I also think AI progress must continue. What would have happened if everyone stayed out of nuclear development except Hitler? I think most people could imagine how that would have gone. We would quickly have a party ruled by the Nazis. The same will happen with AI even if AI itself doesn't take over. The power that the one organisation would have that successfully controls AI would be extreme. We therefore need it, not just to solve all of our problems, but so that some power doesn't rise up that does not have everyone's interests in mind.

I would have been much more comfortable with the former head of NSA heading a firm to probe OpenAI on behalf of humanity ….. As it currently stands, all of the chips are stacked against humanity… self governance is just a bad idea. However, to be fair, I believe anyone qualified to head security for OpenAI would be pissed on regardless of who it is.

All the people who were asking why the government doesn't "do something" to "regulate" all the "uncontrollable minds" pretend to be outraged by the NSA joining the board of OpenAI.

Crowd scenes still inspire the phrase "Bose-Einstein crowd"

I am STUNNED.

Government regulators muscled their way in. All the media alarm about "AI safety" and the need for "controllable minds" paved the way for this.
