The call is coming from inside. Google CEO claims it will be like alien intelligence so we should just trust it to make political decisions for us bro: https://www.computing.co.uk/news/2024/ai/former-google-ceo-eric-schmidt-urges-ai-acceleration-dismisses-climate

But then how will billionaires get to say they’re literally thinking of the big picture because they got to go on a brief space joy ride?

Billionaires are celebrities now? Like that’s true for Taylor Swift, but Bezos?

Probably because we’ll all be dead, which also happens to be a solution to climate change.

Don’t like it? Then start a revolution.

The point is they don’t get fired for laying off staff.

The board doesn’t “let go” of people willing to do a hatchet job, they hire them into their other companies to do the same. “Failing upwards” is a term that comes to mind.

They are going to regret this?

A company doesn’t remember, and the people who are actually responsible don’t have regrets cuz the other option was to hand over control to someone else (hopefully more qualified).

That’s not how you sell fish though. You gotta emphasize how at one time we were all basically fish and if you buy my fish for long enough, those fish will eventually evolve hands to climb!

Adding the benchmark back into the training process doesn’t mean you get an LLM the can weed out irrelevant data, what you get is an LLM that can pass the new metric and you have to design a new metric with different semantic patterns to actually know if it’s “eliminating red herrings”.

If they know about this then they aren’t thinking of the security implications

Talk about making a difficult problem (self-driving) more difficult to solve by solving another hard problem.

“Gold age of humanity”? Dude we are asking for dignity, not some fully automated luxury gay communism. I mean all that sounds nice, but it starts with valuing people over profits.

Grim, but technically accurate, to say nothing of whether such actions are right or wrong.

I’m stealing this.

The more you can make externalities someone else’s problem, the more wealth you can acquire.

Dude is just wholesome.

Guy even gave the plot away when he claims the AI will be incomprehensible, like meeting aliens. So they aren’t even pretending it will justify it’s answers.

You’re holding it wrong

They’re giving up control by exercising control?
