Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI co-founder, on why the company that builds AGI shouldn't be chasing infinite profits:
Speaking on the No Priors podcast, Ilya Sutskever turns a question on the very technology he's working to build.
"If you believe that the technology that we are building, AGI, could potentially be so capable as to do every single task that people do... does it mean that it might unemploy everyone? Well, I don't know, but it's not impossible."
From that possibility, @ilyasut draws a conclusion about how such a company should be structured:
"And if that's the case, it makes sense. It will make a lot of sense if the company that builds such a technology would not be incentivized to make infinite profits."
But he doesn't present this as a settled view. He immediately points to the force that complicates it β competition:
"I don't know if it will literally play out this way because of competition in AI. So there will be multiple companies and I think that will have some unforeseen implications on the argument which I'm making. But that was the thinking."
His point is simple: if AGI can do everything a person can, it might put people out of work on a massive scale, and that changes things.
