Impossible to say. If OpenAI makes it– I think it'll be better for AI safety then with Sam at the helm. But that's a big if. Time will tell.

I very much disagree that it's not intelligent. GPT-4 is clearly intelligent, and we use the lobotomized version of it. So imagine what GPT-5 can do internally. Conscious is hard to say, partly because we can't define it either, s

Former neuroscientist here. Our brain actually uses many different functions for all of these things. Intelligence is incredibly complex. But also, you don't need all of these to have real intelligence. People can problem solve without

Rightfully so? No-one knows. But I sure would trust the scientist leading the endeavor more than a business person that has interest in saying the opposite to avoid immediate regulations.

Never, Elon despised Sam's pivot from non-profit to for-profit. He invested 100M in the beginning.

They said it in the statement, they quoted to chapter of the company that they should focus on AI for the betterment of humanity. I can't say if this will work, but I think the message is pretty clear. No more random product launches l

Dude, you’re not even using GPT-4. Which is way less powerful as the version that openai has internally.

Maybe. We’re also not open sourcing DNA from viruses, how to build nuclear weapons or 3D printing weapons. I think there is an argument to be made that not every powerful LLM should be open source. But yes- maybe we’re worried about nothing

Both IMO. The first leads to attractong world-class talent that can do the second. Until you go off the rails and the second kicks you out it seems.

Don’t forget regulatory capture, lobbying with congress to decrease competition so only the deepest pockets can work on these things.

No-one knows, which makes this a classical scientific problem. Which is what Ilya wants to focus on, which I think is fair, give this alligns with the original mission of OpenAi. I think it’s also fair Sam starts something new with a for pr

This is not petty, it’s the integral mission of the company, the reason it was founded, the reason it got investors and the reason that many of the most brilliant scientists in the world work there. They started as a non-profit ffs.

Neither can you without your short-term memory system. Or your long-term memory system in your hippocampus. People that have lost those abilities still have human level of intelligence.

Objectively speaking, we’re talking exponential growth in both compute and capabilities year over year. Do you have any data that shows that we’ll plateau any time soon? Because if this trend continues, we’ll have superhuman levels of compu

Who says the LLM’s don’t know? Testing with GPT-4 showed that they were clearly capable of knowingly lying.

Grok from Musk? No lol: https://www.foxnews.com/media/elon-musk-hints-at-lawsuit-aga... I wouldn't be surprised if the leadership direction of sam is related to the ousting.

Look at what he did instead: Took the open out of openai. Started with regulatory capture, so that no competitors could follow. Deal with Microsoft. Shade non-profit/for-profict company structure. Elon Musk lawsuit. My feeling is that

It sounds like this was the issue. Even Elon Musk, for all his flaws, strongly disagreed with the direction of 'open'AI. Ilya siding with the board and the board having no financial interests leads me to think that Sam was hiding

by MVissers 3y ago
My guess is he's the right person to run closedai, but not openai. Board has no financial interest in the company, and wanted to stay true to its initial goal.

About the M3 pro, I’ve heard a theory it’s most likely due to lower yields by TSMC and M2 pro and max being too similar. Now it’s clearly, if you really need perf you get an M3 max.

It would make them less money. /thread To be fair– While 8GB is annoying– I've bought the M1 MacBook Air when it came out and it's remarkably resilient. I've only had it freeze a few times due to too little RAM. I'v

Tesla’s batteries are modular, and you can easily repurpose them. Yes, you’ll need a new charge controller, but that’s it. More often than not, you’d want your own charge controller anyway to for example run at a lower voltage (different se

The most likely explanation based on the authors in the two articles is infighting, where one researcher decides to publish an uncomplete manuscript with his name as the third author. He’s omitted from the second author. I do believe they b

I thought we had a pretty good understanding of this up until the molecular and electron level. Am I missing something?

No. Or at least as far as we know. Ultrasound is still a mechanical force that can be focussed in a specific area to open a part of the Blood Brain Barrier. Wifi and bluetooth are electromagnetic, and interact less with the brain. Their tra

For absolute breakthrough science that is counterintuitive in medicine, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't get published in top journals. The H Pylori paper also didn't get published anywhere, no-one believed it. Nobel pri

We have only our history, where we dominated and decimated other close species (Homo Neanderthals) thanks to our intelligence, and literally caused the next extinction event on this planet where >95% of all species already disappeared. O
