You think summoning machine god would not be cost competitive? God as in smarter than all of humanity combined times infinity (or at least a very large number).

You think summoning machine god would not be cost competitive? God as in smarter than all of humanity combined times infinity (or at least a very large number). Earning back the 7T with god/satan on your side could be trivial and at the same time the least of your worries for other reasons (maybe god doesn't like you and/or doesn't care about you).

Some people (like yourselves) are so delusional that you are capable of considering wasting 7T$ on something that is a glorified autocomplete technology. We kind of a need a reset in the tech industry to get rid of mindsets like yours. AGI is still so far away and when the AI bubble eventually bursts, you will probably still try to convince yourself it still only needs 7T$. The state of people in the tech industry is sad.

You know that to many, you are the delusional one if you think that some fictional number in a screen is more important than this glorified autocomplete technology that has the potential to revolutionize humanity as much as agriculture, electricity and the internet.

  Where in my post did I say that I think it's a good idea to spend 7T on that?

> God as in smarter than all of humanity combined times infinity (or at least a very large number). This is delusional. Nobody has demonstrated AI that can even match the output that human creativity has accomplished in the past 5 years. It will take an awful long time before it's up there alongside humans, and by the time it surpasses us we'll both be long dead. If you're not just being performative for a joke here, then I don't even know how I can explain how wrong you are. All of this - the promises of "AGI", the bajillion-dollar meme order sent to TSMC, the cryptic sama tweets in lowercase - it's performance art. It's unsubstantiated, nondilineated, unproven, unstudied nonsense. That's it. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, the crypto bros had to go through this a few months ago and it was tough for them too. But the dividends have to be paid, and in a few years time your "$7 trillion dollar" intellectual property empire will be sand.

  "Nobody has demonstrated it (publicly), so it cannot exist anytime soon" is not a very good argument IMO. Your post reads a bit like that nobel prize winner who in the 90's said the internet would become similar marginal technology as fax machines. Just because nobody had demonstrated any revolutionairy use case for it at the time. We went from barely having computers and no significant internet to what we have today in 30 years. "We'll be long dead", yeah maybe if we don't die of old age.

    The internet existed. AGI does not. It's not that hard.

This is crazy. How can you look at the current state of technology and think that something even remotely close to “smarter than all of humanity times infinity” is near? Tech paradigm shifts will definitely happen and improve current AI by a lot, but if creating “god” is the goal, 7T would be better spent creating a mega transmitter and asking aliens to just give us the tech.

  The current state of technology? I can't see the current state of technology, because I'm not in OpenAI's closed labs. Also "we" don't have to spend any money. Sam is spending it. This is not about us.
