> In one camp, we have people at organizations like Microsoft/OpenAI, Google, Facebook, and maybe Baidu that have successfully developed and trained large-scale AI systems with hundreds of billions to trillions of trained parameters. People in this camp are not too worried about societal risks, but I wonder if it's because to them the rapid improvement in AI capabilities look like a shiny rainbow with a big pot of gold on the other side.
Maybe I am too naive, but they may not trying to do it only for "the money", but for the historical achievement (and ego thing). If GPT is as succesfull as we all think it will, Sam Altman will be remembered alongside big names such as Da Vinci and Mozart. The revolution of GPT will be 10 (or 100) times the computer or the internet. I am a bit against/scared of IA (check my post history), but having the opportunity to become the father of one of the most (if not the most) imoprtant revolution in centuries... I am not sure I'd say no even if it has ethical issues. We are all humans after all...
[] If it is worth to be part of an encyclopedia if there aren't any humans left to read it it's another discussion ;-)

- gremlinsinc 4y agoI'd work on it, simply because it's A. amazing tech, and B. inevitable that if I don't, somebody else would. I'm trying to build a custom model service for SMBs to create ai agents around their lbs etc... major learning curves though.
- cs702 4y ago100% agree. By "pot of gold" I mean money, fame, glory, etc. I edited my comment to reflect as much. Thanks!
