Imagine thinking that regression based function approximators are capable of anything other than fitting the data you give it. Then imagine willfully hyping up and scaring people who don't understand, and because it can predict words you take advantage of the human tendency to anthropomorphize, so it follows that it is something capable of generalized and adaptable intelligence.

Shame on all of the people involved in this: the people in these companies, the journalists who shovel shit (hope they get replaced real soon), researchers who should know better, and dementia ridden legislators.

So utterly predictable and slimy. All of those who are so gravely concerned about "alignment" in this context, give yourselves a pat on the back for hyping up science fiction stories and enabling regulatory capture.

100% this, I don't get how even on this website people are so clueless.

Give them a semi human sounding puppet and they think skynet is coming tomorrow.

If we learned anything from the past few months is how gullible people are, wishful thinking is a hell of a drug

People are bored and tired sitting endlessly in front of a screen. Reality implodes (incipient environmental disasters, ongoing wars reawakening geopolitical tectonic plates, internal political strife between polarized fractions, whiplashing financial systems, etc.)

What to do? Why, obviously lets talk about the risks of AGI.

I mean LLM's are an impressive piece of work but the global reaction is basically more a reflection of an unmoored system that floats above and below reality but somehow can't re-establish contact.
