Honest question:
If Bezos and musk were to tomorrow liquidate 100% of their portfolios and write a check to someone; who do you propose they would write the check to in order to cure all of the world’s evils, and what then would said person do with that check?
If they were to both actually liquidate, they would take an enormous haircut due to the drop in the value of their companies and probably would end up with about $8-900B in net cash.
So, write a $900 billion check to Bernie Sanders to do with what he pleases. Now what?
No really. Now what? 🤷♂️
@RonDeSantis Shocker. The media is willfully steering the narrative to shit on people and companies whose politics they don’t like. Color me shocked! 😳
@Huebner4NebrCD3 Perhaps…and I’m just spit balling here… Dear Leader should’ve thought about a plan for the Straight of Hormuz before he started lobbing missiles. 🤔
The Buttigiegs have experienced a nightmare that should never have happened at all.
I hope whoever is responsible is found and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. https://t.co/mFaGCzZYJB
If you mash your foot on the accelerator pedal, the car will accelerate, whether you're driving a Tesla or any other car brand. In this case, the driver kept the accelerator pressed even after the crash.
It's very clear that the issue isn't Tesla or FSD - it's human drivers. Humans are not good drivers, but robots are, as evidenced by the safety data from both Tesla and Waymo.
The solution is obvious: If you take away the steering wheel and pedals and let the robots drive, crashes caused by human error - like driving into a house after overriding the system - simply won't happen.
There has never been a documented case of a robotaxi driving itself into a house, ever.
Every journalist who lied about this has blood on their hands. They’re killing people. This is like urging people not to wear seat belts.
Go take a demo drive with Tesla’s latest self-driving software and try to tell me with a straight face that i’m wrong.
The “it’s not AGI because machine intelligence is jagged” is dumb cope.
It’s obviously AGI. If you had a friend who had a 130 IQ, could write production code flawlessly, could write academic papers of a high research caliber, pass any exam in any field with flying colors, create a sophisticate LBO model, draw technical diagrams perfectly, compose poetry in any language, and could find solutions to significant unsolved mathematical problems, you would call that person a world historical genius. Certainly, no single human has ever had intelligence that “general” before.
Now you think it’s “not AGI” because it sometimes slips up and makes mistakes - so does any human that you would consider “extraordinarily intelligent.”
The professor might forget a colleagues name that he has known for a decade. He is still considered intelligent. The math genius might be a little autistic and shy, unable to maintain polite conversation. Still intelligent. You might stare at the fridge for 30 seconds unable to find the butter, despite 5 million years of evolution perfecting your visual intelligence.
We give intelligent humans a pass when they have jagged intelligence. So why the double standard?
The qualities people list as “necessary for AGI” are important traits to have, but no longer pertain to intelligence. People will say things like “true AGI requires agency, long term goal setting, embodiment, self-direct action”.
But none of those things are intelligence. Those are “things that humans have that AI lacks”. Raw intelligence, AI has it in spades. That other stuff - important yet, but broader than and different from intelligence.
The unwillingness of people to acknowledge that AGI obviously exists and has existed for a while is due to a kind of anthropic chauvinism - a psychological need to believe that humans are superior in every respect, that we possess soft skills that no machine could replicate.
Yes humans are different from machines, but if we are limiting the discussion solely to general intelligence, AI has it already. That battle is over.
If you want to reframe the discussion to matters of human dignity and personhood, fine, but that’s not an AGI question. That’s something else. Just take the loss on AGI already. It’s over.
Good reason exists to reshare this story from two weeks ago on Elijah Pritchett, Nebraska’s left tackle who has traveled a long road to reach his final collegiate season.
Last Saturday, Pritchett became the first in his family to graduate from college. He shared the achievement with his mother, Nicole, his grandmother and siblings.
