Sam Altman literally revealed the 5 traits that separate legendary founders from everyone else:

[Bryan Johnson @bryan_johnson]

Ilya and I are predicting the same future.

@ilyasut predicts that as AI becomes viscerally powerful, humans will change in unprecedented ways. I’ve been arguing the same. We are not open to radical change yet because we cannot feel the pressure of AI. Once we do, the vectors for human evolution will blow open. I have been building the prototype for this adaptation and opening.

He argues that as risk rises, rivals will begin cooperating on safety. I’ve argued the same. As the stakes become existential, the game shifts from dominance maximizing to minimizing death risk (survival). We will rebuild our values around this logic.

IIya suggests our alignment goal must be "sentient existence" rather than human control. I've argued the same. Control is a fragile illusion, a point @karpathy recently echoed regarding the difficulty of managing emergent systems. The only robust alignment target is existence itself. The new archetype is not the Conqueror, but the Warrior & Caretaker of Existence.

Finally, Ilya suggests companies need a "short list of ideas" to guide them through the chaos. A code of moral clarity.

This is the Don't Die philosophy.

Hi @RichardGrenell
Is it possible that Imran Khan of Pakistan could receive an invitation to Trump’s inauguration? It would send a powerful symbolic message to the world and amplify the calls for his release.

@ImranKhanPTI " I have been subjected to solitary confinement and torture in a dark cell by those who control Adiala Jail.

Given number of advancement in computing and solving latency issues, I am very confident in 2-3 years, we will have a very realistic Human-like AI voice available in production similar to ChatGPT right now for chat-based interactions!!

[Bindu Reddy @bindureddy]

The Human Fascination With "Her"

Humans love to anthropomorphize everything, and an AI that listens to your tone and emotion and modulates its response accordingly seems very real.

Google Duplex, the first human-like voice assistant, was demo-ed almost 6 years ago, and everyone was blown away!

The AI model had a very realistic and pleasant conversation and made a restaurant reservation! However, Duplex was eventually shut down because it was largely demoware and didn't quite work in production.

Interestingly, Duplex was announced at Google I/O! Six years later, we expect Open AI to preview its version a day before I/O.

Given SOTA audio models, I expect OAI's version to be very close to the one from the movie HER.

An AI model that can tell if you are angry, annoyed, or happy. One that will respond with exactly what you want, tell jokes, and make you laugh!

Unlike other humans, an AI voice assistant can be infinitely patient, access all the world's information, be capable of expert-level reasoning, and be super entertaining.

In a couple of years, we may find interacting with the AI Her way more pleasurable than interacting with other humans 🤔🥹

[Linus ✦ Ekenstam @LinusEkenstam]

with sam and greg ousted yesterday
my initial thought yesterday was “shit they have discovered AGI” and the only person who was capable of understanding it was ilya sutskever.

now it’s seems even more an more plausible that is the case. to understand the amount of stress and pressure he must have been under i urge you to watch this short documentary.

this was recorded during the development of chatGPT. but the sincere stream of thought about the greater good AND the bad that will come from AI might put it more clear to why this might have happened.

my thesis, they have had AGI internally for a while, and Ilya, andrej karpathy might have been the first ones to grasp what they have made.

to be clear, geoff hinton regrets his life’s work (the work on AI) due to him worry about all the bad it can be used for.

maybe ilya is under similar pressure. to much for one person to bear.

regardless, we will know more soon.
i feel for all involved parties, and for the community at large. this is not great.
