If you can't make a simple chatbot safe, how does OpenAI square this with their open bid to build "superintelligence"? If the simple playmobile version is verifiably unsafe, why would the all-powerful god be safe?

People need to start having conversations about existential risk here. Hinton, Nobel Prize winner in AI, thinks there's a decent chance AI executes the entire human species. This isn't some crank idea.

> but it's increasingly looking like LeCunn is right. This is an absolutely crazy statement vis-a-vis reality and the fact that it’s so upvoted is an indictment of the type of wishful thinking that has grown deep roots here.

Yes. It's not just me: I'm a professional staff engineer, great. Andrej Karpathy is one of the best engineers in the country, George Hotz is one of the best engineers in the country, etc.

Nope. It's still faster to just prompt Claude and read all of the output, I'm sorry.

This seems remarkably less safe? Would would we want to purposely decrease interpretability? Very strange.

The models aren't smart enough to be fully agentic. This is why Claude Code human-in-the-loop process is 100x more ergonomic.

I'm going to be honest because I have nothing to lose; I've never in my entire life met a single senior engineer that can surpass Opus generally. Some can surpass it at problem solving but they aren't common.

Correct. Opus 4.5 'solved' software engineering. What more do I need? Businesses need uncapped intelligence, and that is a very high bar. Individuals often don't.

Yes, they're purposely not 'trained on' chain-of-thought to avoid making it useless for interpretability. As a result, some can find it epistemically shocking if you tell them you can see their chain-of-thought. More recent m

That does feel a little more like over-fitting, but you might be able to argue that there's some philosophical proximity to lying. I think, largely, the Pre-training -> Post-training -> Safety/Alignment training pipel

They really lie. Not on purpose; because they are trained on rewards that favor lying as a strategy. Othello-GPT is a good example to understand this. Without explicit training, but on the task of 'predicting moves on an Othello board&
