I agree. Overall the whole situation feels like we’ve just entered atomic age and are proliferating plutonium, while selling shiny radioactive toys [I’m actually pretty serious here, the effects of prolonged interactions with an AI haven’t been evaluated yet, technically there is even a possibility of overriding a weak personality].
But it still feels like it is much safer to let GPT-4 loose and assess the consequences. If compared to developing GPT-8 in private and letting it leak accidentally.
- smodad 4y agoFor sure. Just to be clear, I'm not saying the situation we're in where we have to release it to the general public is a great situation to be in. But I think we're at a point where there's not any optimal solutions, only tradeoffs.
- jjoonathan 4y agoYes. The only possible way this gets taken seriously is if a mediocre AI tries a power move, causes some damage, and faceplants before it's too big to stop.
- startupsfail 4y agoI would not be surprised, if GPT-4 (in its optimal environment, with access to a well-working external memory, prompted in a right way, etc) is already capable enough to do an interesting power move.
- cleanchit 4y agoAlright who plugged gpt into his hn account?
- selfhoster11 4y ago> technically there is even a possibility of overriding a weak personality Similar reflections here. There was even a site called GPT My Life that lets you delegate planning your day to GPT. I imagine this is a proto-version of that.
