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.

Sam Altman is a great case of failing upwards. And this is the problem. You don't get to build a moral backbone if you fake your brilliance.

Gives me the impression of someone who knows they are a fraud but they still do what they do hoping no one will catch on or that if the lie is big enough people will believe it. Taking such an incredible piece of tech and turning it into a fear mongering sci fi tool for milking money off of gullible people is creepy to say the least.

His mentor Peter Thiel also has this same quality. Talks about flying cars, but builds chartjs for the government and has his whole career thanks to one lucky investment in Facebook.
