I gathered that as well watching one of his videos. He's really hoping for it.

That's definitely a positive move. The only issue is that people at LAION will probably decide who gets access and when. Still much better then corps or gov tho, but more projects would be good. Maybe a distributed training network where people could contribute compute over the internet? Along with a push to give anyone who wants it free training on ML / AI. Those two things would help decentralize AI

Insults aside, I didn't say otherwise. I said there wasn't a shortage of ditch diggers.

Interest rates. They can’t borrow as cheaply as before to buy back their stock and hired too many people for ambitious projects that didn’t end up making any revenue

Any reason to assume a organization with a completely different structure to open AI will act like open AI?

LAION launched a petition for one, but the petition site is down for maintenance currently. Bad timing honestly.

The paper may have been published then but his prediction was made on January 1 1993
Also he said it was a guess and his confidence interval was 2005 to 2030
2030 is looking realistic now.

>How about use the taxes from businesses that use AI to eliminate jobs
Not really at that stage at a mass scale yet.

A public project would be great. I'm sure there are thousands of people willing to get involved. We probably have at least a few hundred on this sub. The main thing would be to get organized and spread the word, which is ironically difficult in this age of the internet

Already being made. People need to lay the framework with GPT 4. There will be large tasks managers that are ran by GPT 4 that can do low level tasks. Larger then the typical context window. Then they will be upgraded with GPT 5 which is essentially AGI at that point. So even if we don't get GPT 5 now, we will have the framework already set in place with GPT 4

I'd go so far as to call it dangerous honestly, and we can see that in the struggle for basic things. Many of which are much more normalized in less significant fields simply due to mass participation. On the plus side there is at least more public funding for research now, but I am glad to see larger calls for a massive public project on this.

Came here to say this. As time goes on and they work on the hallucinating problem it could become an excellent tool to learn new languages as well. Once we personal assistants become common and integrated into our it could be told to slowly work in new words from the language your trying to learn. One of the biggest problems people face in learning is not having anywhere to practice.

Same here. No more artists for book covers. Don't need an editor anymore. No more ghostwriters.
I had six figures of yearly expenses disappear with gpt-4... no more 1099s.

Reply to comment by Unfrozen__Caveman in AGI Ruin: A List of Lethalities by Eliezer Yudkowsky -- "We need to get alignment right on the first critical try" by Unfrozen__Caveman
> What matters to us might not matter at all to an AGI. And even if it is aligned to our ethics and has the ability to empathize, whose ethics is it aligning to? Who is it empathize with?
the thing about the number system is the simplest patterns recur far more often than more complex ones. I think it's off base to describe the totallity of ethical space as dramatically outside that which humans have explored.
ethics is how agents make choices when timestepping through a graph. there is a lot of structure there and much of it is quite inescapable, freedom, fairness, extremely fundamental concepts.
also my personal take is that due to the importance of locality in computing there will have to be multiple distinct ai's, and if they cooperate they will do much better than evil ones.
selfishness is a very low local maxima, cooperation can take networks much higher. prioritize military might and you might lose out to your competitors technological advantage or overwhelming cultural appeal (or if you are overly authoritarian the increased awareness and tight feedback of more edge empowered militaries/societies might prevail over you)

Reply to comment by WonderFactory in GPT characters in games by YearZero
I think you could get around the latency issue by having the generated dialogue come in form of letters that you receive in-game, which would feel a lot more natural than a slow conversation. Or have some cutscenes in between the prompt and the answers. As for the price, it should probably be an optional setting, and maybe the price should be offset by a subscription or ads, as much as I hate them, but in this case it would be difficult to do otherwise, unless you plan to foot the bill of your users forever.

In digital marketing it’s been taking jobs for years. I expect almost everyone in the field to be out in a few years.
White color work in general is completely overrated in what brainpower is required. It’s largely politics and pushing paper.
