In my wildest speculation behind the gossip of recent goings on I imagine a board comprised of individuals saturated in the technology, presented with the latest technology, a leading edge AI, tasked with improving it's own code, as the board and co. sat back and watched, the machine made improvements rapidly, rapidly enough that the engineers had to admit they could no longer follow the code changes, watched as the AI redeveloped the underlying language then kernel and started planning fabrication technology and how to fund it, mere trillions, the benchmarks were smashed and they hit stop, what do you do next?

- tudorw 3y agoI recall reading a roadmap for camera sensors, this might be folklore it was a long time ago, the takeaway was that they had the technology for the 100mp sensor and the roadmap showed how they would maximise profit using a 20 year curve working up to the release of the final sensor, by which time a new method would meet that curve to continue their dominance, if I had AGI, I would let it out in very small drips.
- bamboozled 3y agoToo much fame, money and notoriety at stake, imagine the CEO of OpenAI having 20 years of patience ?
- nirav72 3y agoHe’s a relatively young guy that obviously lives well enough right now to be able wait 20 years.

- Geisterde 3y agoJust because we have the ability to move individual atoms around, doesnt mean its affordable to do so. It probably would have been pretty expensive (and low yield, and cumbersom, and error prone) to make a 100mp camera in 2004.
- tudorw 3y agoFair, it may well have been a roadmap based on some kind of theoretical limit on the technology, also, I am fairly old, so 10mp was probably more likely!
- taneq 3y agoIf your system works that well, others won’t be far behind. If you stop, another AI will still take off, but you’ll have even less control over it.
- bbor 3y agoJust to be clear, you’re saying that Sam Altman is currently in an Ex Machina-esque relationship with his own wannabe Rehoboam, and that his recent trillion dollar manufacturing proposal was really the first acts of a nascent AGI? Because if so, you’re right on. The question is whether Sam knows it
- userbinator 3y agoIt's far more likely that AI will lead to a steep descent into mediocrity.
