That, or they don't care if they get to AGI first, and just want their payday now. Which sounds pretty in-line with the SV culture of putting profit above all

That, or they don't care if they get to AGI first, and just want their payday now.
Which sounds pretty in-line with the SV culture of putting profit above all else.
- foobiekr 2y agoIf they think AGI is imminent the value of that payday is very limited. I think the grandparent is more correct: OpenAI is admitting that near term AGI - which, being that the only one anyone really cares about is the case with exponential self improvement - isn't happening any time soon. But that much is obvious anyway despite the hyperbolic nonsense now common around AI discussions.
- lenerdenator 2y agoDefine "imminent". If I were a person like several of the people working on AI right now (or really, just heading up tech companies), I could be the kind to look at a possible world-ending event happening in the next - eh, year, let's say - and just want to have a party at the end of the world. Five years to ten years? Harder to predict.
- foobiekr 2y agoImminent means "in a timeframe meaningful to the individual equity holders this change is about." The window there would at _least_ include the next 5 years, though obviously not ten.
