YMMV. I don't want to see Altman's fearmongering and hyperbolic statements. At this point he's indistinguishable from a bitcoin advocate or a tv preacher.

- threatofrain 3y agoIt's dubious that HN mods think that way of Altman though.
- nottorp 3y agos/mods/users? everyone can flag stories.
- wolverine876 3y agoIt's not flags (or not sufficient to remove the story): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39231055 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39231055
- lolinder 3y agoFlags are sufficient. I just posted a comment on the comment you linked to: I have many times been the person who pressed "flag" on a story and then watched it immediately disappear. I think there's some threshold of flags to upvotes and possibly some other metrics that determines whether a story vanishes, but flags can absolutely tip the scales.
- dang 3y agoI like Sam, but "$celebrity says $thing about $common-topic" is almost never a good basis for a frontpage thread on HN. It's vital to HN that user flags and/or software like the flamewar detector clear most such submissions off the front page. They tend to attract a lot of upvotes because that's what sensational (and especially indignant-sensational) stories do. Without countervailing mechanisms, HN would be completely taken over by those stories.

He just extrapolated based on current amounts of compute and estimated a possible model size that could be equivalent to AGI (based on current architecture). Training a model of that size would require too much electricity. That was his point.
