Matthew McConaughey predicts to Timothée Chalamet that AI actors will crash the Oscars.

“It’s damn sure going to infiltrate our category.”

“Will we, in five years, have Best AI Actor? Maybe. It’s going to be in front of us in ways we don’t even see.”

Creativity is not a democracy.

Diversion from the ordinary and group consensus is what helps novelty shine and makes ideas stand out.

No to group brainstorming.

Yes to collaboration.

Analyze data with AI in spreadsheets, build visuals, and run code.

And it’s a free tool.

This will allow for mobile phone connectivity anywhere on Earth.

Note, this only supports ~7Mb per beam and the beams are very big, so while this is a great solution for locations with no cellular connectivity, it is not meaningfully competitive with existing terrestrial cellular networks.

AGI and eventually the fate of humans

#ai #AGI #humans #learning #thinking #experience #chatGPT

[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.
