OpenAI CEO on Artificial Intelligence Changing Society

Taken from JRE #2044 w/Sam Altman:

What I've learnt in my 5 decades is that we are terrible at predicting the future because a new change that we cannot imagine causes a major paradigm shift.

He literally said that jobs will be eliminated and the rich will get richer. Then he said that we will all get government hand outs of 1/8 billion per person. He perfectly described a dystopian dictatorship. He literally just described how his company will destroy our world

Just remember that he doesn't control AI. He just made a monopoly around a discovery in the AI/ML academic community, specifically a paper from Google, that proved the attention mechanism "is all you need" to train large scale models. This allowed us to scale and train larger and larger statistical (deep learning) models that predict the next word given a sequence of words. Previous large language models before this paper were using too complex architectures and the compute power wouldn't allow training models with datasets the size of the Internet and more. This is called generative AI today, but it's like monopolizing light bulbs after they were discovered. The math is published and it's not too complex to reproduce. Look up hugging face and the LLM leaderboard and you'll find 100s of open source language models that compete with OpenAI. This is called a bubble. It will pop. Models like these will run offline in your house in the next 5 years.

Just say NO to digital ID, social credit system, digital currency, police state, vaccine passport, planned obsolescence, & WEF tyranny.

He’s letting us know very subtly:
“We’re going to negatively affect a lot of people doing this, but not everybody.” 😁

[AlexanderR]

This is like asking a dairy farmer if milk is good.

Honestly i think we are headed down the Bladerunner rabbit hole as far as AI is is basically JOI in it's most primitive form, and we have all the tools in other areas....internet banking, GPS for your car, mobile phone for social media, your fitbit watch that monitors your vitals, your Spotify, your Cloud based media and other stuff will be collated and brought together in one entity that you can pretty much run and control your life with.Your AI will naturally be paired with any device you personally own and all of this of course will be voice interactive but it will be intelligent enough to give you ideas and suggestions to improve your life with your own personal AI

[mrreaperkojo]

This guy will help aid the downfall of humanity

[Jonathan-ydud]

This guy answers less questions than the CIA guy

[playOLDmusic]

His voice is like Chris from Family Guy.

[jaysonp]

"my intuitions have all been wrong...here are my new intuitions"

[vikcheban]

Sam admitted he was wrong multiple times about how AI would develop. Although i appreciate his honesty, makes me suspect that the future will be radically different from what he or anyone else predicts

[drhouse]

You had the chance to put him in a chokehold and resolve the issue right there...wtf Joe 🤨

[lucas]

In the future, if there is going to be one, this man will be viewed as the greatest terrorist that ever existed

[xcoder]

That long pause at the beginning says it all

[chelseaswag]

I love how Eddie Bravo gets checked on everything and this dude gets to monologue about eliminating society

[YoungPotter]

The fact that he compared it to the development of the Nuclear Missile is kind of scary.

[MarcoPolo-fyqr]

He's got the creepy Mark Facebook vibe

[jaydonbeatz]

Joe is amazing at asking the right questions and letting the person talk uninterrupted

[burninkgb]

Wait. I haven't bought my tent yet!😢
