A whole lot of words that didn't say much about specifics of the past or specifics of the future, just pablum and positive spins. It read as if he had an LLM help out (derogatory).
"We are beginning to turn our aim beyond that, to superintelligence in the true sense of the word. We love our current products, but we are here for the glorious future. With superintelligence, we can do anything else. Superintelligent tools could massively accelerate scientific discovery and innovation well beyond what we are capable of doing on our own, and in turn massively increase abundance and prosperity."
Claiming superintelligence in this post in this form with how little LLMs are able to consistently be accurately true is beyond wishful thinking, entering magical, though throughout it all is still the stink of Fraud.
- rvz 2y agoThere you go. His blog post is literally talking about what will be discussed at the Annual WEF meeting: From [0]: > "While nearly 40% of global employment is exposed to AI, it is anticipated that most of this impact will be to augment work rather than to fully automate existing occupations." The problem here is that once these AI agents as Sam just said “join the workforce”, eventually those jobs are replaced and there will be no alternative for those lost jobs. Starting with customer service and it will move up and so on. Both of them are now coining the start of this as "The Intelligence | Intelligent Age".

- miltonlost 2y agoThe Luddites have always been right. Technological change must be paired with economic justice.

Completely. I eagerly anticipate the lawsuits when OAI crumbles financially and stakes holders want restitution. He promises far beyond what any evidence shows they have developed.
- neilv 2y agoI would guess that a gazillion dollars of other people's money is hoping that he doesn't put his foot in his mouth. So there'd probably be staff/consultants who you'd want to review these pieces before they're published. There might also be staff/consultants who have particular goals of the writing to begin with, and who might even write the entire thing themselves, or at least itemize talking points.
- ilrwbwrkhv 2y agoTo be fair I think Sam's belief is very genuine here. I remember way back in the day when asked how they would make money, he said "we will just ask the agi". People laughed then but that future seems closer than when he responded with that? Having said that I don't think conscious AGI is possible in this path. It would probably be cracked by the Chinese because the American way is brute force. The Chinese way is more yin yang and lesser investments (forced hand maybe) which will force research on more energy conservative methods. The key to conscious AI is energy conservation.
