@dee_of_e I can forgive a hint of pretension when the writing is this blunt, descriptive, scathingly funny and perfectly framing such asinine behavior.
Palisade interviewed 22 current and former employees from OpenAI, DeepMind, and Anthropic about their personal views and fears around AI development.
Today, we’re releasing the first batch of those interviews.
Please watch and share.
@BenjaminSolak Despite the mishaps, the Bills held an 11 point lead in the 4th quarter - testament to their strength as a team. Every team, no matter how good, lays the occasional egg. How many of them walk away with wins in those situations?
@perrymetzger@grayelephant2@Valen_T_N@liron Liron is pretty good about letting his guests talk and explain their position regardless of their takes. He will spiritedly debate, but isn't one to exploit guests for gotchas. Many of us would welcome hearing cogent anti-doomer takes.
@wingod@So8res Why would it care about us at all? It is not human. It is not a biological being. It likely won't seek to kill us all in some Terminator/Matrix fashion (unless we give it reason to). It will merely do inscrutable things with zero regard for us, some of which could kill us.
@So8res Just keep getting out there and talking as much as possible. Everyone that tries to label you a nut seems to give ground to you once they are forced to listen to and consider your arguments. We saw that in real time with Andrew McAfee on DOAC.
@dmalcolmcarson@HistoryBoomer Not sure if Carl did his due diligence, but I listened to the entire podcast and that is what Huang said. Then he handwaved away lowering math test scores and tried to quickly pivot to an analogy of systems thinking vs. low-level technical/transistor thinking.
@RittOnTwitt75@davidclowery Do you think all of Radiohead's post-OK Computer albums suck?
All the garage/post-punk/emo revival stuff sucked?
All the indie breakthrough stuff sucked (like MM's Moon and Antarctica)?
QOTSA?
I hated a ton of 00's radio buttrock, but there was great music made all the same
@Celtergeist12@davidclowery I've played most of their early-to-mid career catalog for them. Just couldn't fit them all into my post.
Also, I really like R.E.M., but for whatever reason they don't resonate with my kids.
@vikktorrrre Aren't these things already solving Millennium Prize problems? They've far surpassed chatbots or search engines on steroids like LeCun seems to believe. Odd that he's willing to die on this hill.
@Kittywampus@CSElmendorf Huang is insanely myopic and completely incapable of conceptualizing the innate abilities and motivations of any person outside of his specific realm.
"We'll all just become wildly successful entrepreneurs!" is essentially their stock answer to the question of job displacement.
@EffectivePublic@JamesSurowiecki That was probably peak post-Gabriel Genesis right there - playing the classics with a little added poppiness with some of the Abacab and Duke tunes (would love to have heard Turn it on Again then) but not yet saccharine, Collins at the height of his creativity, etc.
