That "the most important company in the world" bit is so out of touch with reality.
Imagine the hubris.
- bl0rg 3y agoI'd argue they are the closest to AGI (how far off that is no one knows). That would make them a strong contender for the most important company in the world in my book.
- wheelerof4te 3y agoAGI without a body is just a glorified chatbot that is dependant on available, human provided resources. To create true AGI, you would need to make the software aware of its surroundings and provide it with a way to experience the real world.
- mritchie712 3y agovision API is pretty good, have you tried it?
- bl0rg 3y agoEven if that was true, do you think it would be hard to hook it up to a Boston Dynamics robot and potentially add a few sensors? I reckon that could be done in an afternoon (by humans), or a few seconds (by the AGI). I feel like I'm missing your point.
- wheelerof4te 3y agoWell, we don't know how hard it is. But if it hasn't been done yet, it must be much harder than most people think. If you do manage to make a thinking, working AGI machine, would you call it "a living being"? No, the machine still needs to have individuality, a way to experience "oness" that all living humans (and perhaps animals, we don't know) feel. Some call it "a soul", others "consciousness". The machine would have to live independently from its creators, to be self-aware, to multiply. Otherwise, it is just a shell filled with random data gathered from the Internet and its surroundings.
- Philpax 3y agoIt's so incredibly not-difficult that Boston Dynamics themselves already did it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djzOBZUFzTw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djzOBZUFzTw
- snoman 3y agoAGI with agent architectures (ie giving the AI access to APIs) will be bonkers. An AI without a body, but access to every API currently hosted on the internet, and the ability to reason about them and compose them… that is something that needs serious consideration. It sounds like you’re dismissing it because it won’t fit the mold of sci-fi humanoid-like robots, and I think that’s a big miss.
- mycologos 3y ago"Most important company in the world" is text from a question somebody (I think the journalist?) asked, not from Sutskever himself.
- wheelerof4te 3y agoI know. I was quoting the article piece.
- mycologos 3y agoBut it doesn't make sense for the journalist to have hubris about OpenAI.
