Why 50 years? Why not opt for like 10 yrs? 😂

There are some DeepMind names there

Edit: also some Google names further down

Edit2: even some Microsoft names further down, just SWEs and not researchers though

In most mature industries their role is to manage status quo and tune the monopoly they invariably achieved by keeping good contacts with fellow cartel members and take care of allies in gouvernement.

Their also have to maintain friendly proximity with fellow McKinsey gents in commercial banks that will finance anything that doesn’t require financing.

That is their true job, and that will remain for a little while IMO.

It’s hard to imagine a world where people don’t age in a world where there isn’t relatively infinite abundance for all. The world is already total shit for billions of humans

And…. traffic

Or could they use GPT-5 or 6 to be their lawyer.

Or is that the global courts or could GPT move to another country to get around legal holdups?

What if AI allows us to use it as a tool to faster approach AGI?

It's kind of like the chicken and egg problem. What came first the AGI or the AI toolkit that allowed the AGI to evolve faster from an AI?

Yeah it will only cost $600,000 no big deal guys!

My limited understanding is that the AIs need to be trained before they can be used.

They are working towards AIs that can learn and, on the fly, it would be a huge jump in capabilities. And put the first company that does it ahead of everyone else.

No one from OpenAi or Deepmind signed it, neither did Microsoft CEO. I'm interpreting this letter as the others saying "slow down so we can catch up and get a piece of the cake" to the big players

I think the end goal is not to extend the life of our (inherently flawed and limited) biological bodies, but to replace them.

We aren't going to explore & colonize space in fragile meat bags that require food, water, air, stable pressure, gravity, and temperature. Even on Earth, supporting a ballooning population isn't going to be easy.

The goal is to digitize consciousness, and there is still a lot to figure out before we get there. I don' think it's possible to make human bodies as we know them "immortal"

An interesting nod to the increasing importance of verifying identify online.

Isn't this a fake thing? No-one has admitted that they have anything to do with this.

GPT-4 made the letter. It's playing 4D chess to keep the funding flowing.

It's real for gary marcus, check his twitter. a comment said they verified its true with musk and emad too.

Shit's looking weird for sure.

Please cure aging 🙏

The CEO of my old company is just doing PR stuff, I don’t think they do have or usually claim to have the expertise over HOD’s. Their job is to figure out what BOD wants and BOD chose him to represent their interests. It’s a power and trust position so it may not work for many companies to rely on AI in such cases.

Lol that takes the cake 🤣🤣

It reeks of sour grapes, not only are many of the signature fake which straight up puts this into at best shady af territory but there is literally zero workable plan after 6 months, hell even during it. No criteria as to what is "enough" pause and who decides them. And that also ignores that PAUSING DOESN'T WORK, there are all kinds of open source models out there and the tech is starting to move away from large = better. It's FOMO + desperate power grab + neurotic unfalsifiable fears. I am not saying x-risk is 0, but drastic action need commensurate evidence. I get tail risks are hard to get evidence for in advance, but we have seen so many ridiculous claims of misalignment like people coaxing ChatGPT or Bing into no-no talk and people claiming "It's aggressively misaligned", and yet at the very same time saying "It's hallucinating and doesn't understand anything abt reality". Everything abt this signals to me motivated reasoning, fears of obsolence, and projection of one's own demon onto a completely alien class of mind.

Yeah, I'm curious about how CEOs will fight it more than anything. Power structures are gonna flip in their heads.

Fine with me, but I'd love for that to be all they do. The board of directors will probably be replaced to when AI is better at profiting the shareholders...

What they are preparing you and saying is: That's All folks ! We'll continue our work behind closed doors

I guess what we saw in Ready Player One is kind of Agenda…

Suddenly no long time after came the rise of crypto, the hype and the boom, society went deep on digitalisation and the COVID 19 3 years ago set the isolation at a survival level. Then started to be around Musk as a prophet of XXIst century with the promise of a brilliant future, now we have the setting of a French Revolution 3.0 here with the economic environment destroyed and the faith and hopes of the people at their lowest. And we come back to Ready Player One, where the people moves minimally from their environments, lives with minimum supplies and past the most of their days in a virtual reality. We could call it Reddit 3.0
