Supposedly the change of heart came after “the first security incident that I have felt very viscerally,” the Huggingface escape. To me it sounds like he’s worried about the competition breathing down his neck and wants someone to come in and call a time-out.
How much of the costs of open AI is R&D
BREAKING: A Billionaire Said Some Bullshit.
I know downvotes are generally frowned upon here… But c’mon. This ain’t what we should be hyping up attention for.
I’d be ok with him rapidly “decelerating” at end of a long fall…
how much hype are you going to milk from something that could have been stopped with ctrl c
Ctrl-C doesn’t get him the big valuations though. Gotta follow the money.
Ah!
You are “ready” to decelerate… It’s going to be hard for you to do so, it is going to take some efforts, but since you are ready to do it…
Just for us I presume, how sweet from you Sam, how sweet…
Way to get ahead of the slowdown Sam. Control the narrative. You “chose” to scale back.
“Actually we almost made the A.I. too good and it scared me cuz of how good it was”
Ahhh yes, decelerate into the singularity. We wouldnt wanna ram it full speed, it might break!
You can tell when Altman is lying by noticing that his mouth is open.
Sufficient but unnecessary imo.
Sometimes he lies in print, tbd whether he talks out the words when he types.
Every “Sam Altman said…” headline can be summed up as:
“Manipulative liar says whatever he thinks his audience wants to hear.”
…to attract more inversement.
“Tech crypto grifter says thing to grift people with crypto, tech or both. More at 11”
Although i cant imagin any sign of a pullback would be good for any of the companies in the AI bubble. While probably not important on the specifics of what he is saying it is a “we should slow down” which the market aint gonna like. No breaks on this gravy train Sammy boy!
He is just like Elon Musk a tech bro con man that has the backing of some of the richest companies and people in the world.
Likely translation: scaling their models is hitting diminishing returns, while the business world is slowly realizing the math ain’t mathing and they’re not suddenly 10x more efficient and profitable than before LLM adoption.
So Sammy and the others need a plausible cover story why capabilities aren’t evolving at break neck speed anymore, to prevent their beautiful bubbly bubble from crashing down on them
This is the part I don’t get. No learned model I’m aware of scales well forever. Eventually, funneling more data just isn’t going to do the trick.
Let’s hope they get the Enron treatment for their actions
I’m thinking more French revolution treatment.
Sweet! Who are you hoping the next Napoleon will be?
Exactly. Who tf actually believes this crap?
Feds made them be the fall guy though. Data centers are new infrastructure for the government to use. That’s the main reason for all this ai bullshit. Chapgpt and this consumer grade bullshit is the unplugged video game controller they gave us to makes us feel special and a part of something while THEY play “The Game”.
An expansion of the above; https://reddthat.com/comment/28125951
while THEY play “The Game”
And I just lost it.
Sadly it’s way more banal and boring than that.
Why do we care that some greedy bastard is doing a fake apology tour?
Because he’s a greedy bastard with the ear of every head of state, standing at the top of a $1.6T pyramid scheme we’re all tangled up in.
We gotta stop worshipping these guys because they have power’s ear. The people are way, way more important than lil’ sammy whatsisname?
LOL…those graphs didn’t infinitely extrapolate Sam?
99% of failed companies are from graph extrapolation in board rooms.
He can do what he wants - except closing Pandora’s box. It stays open. The race is on, whether he participates or not.
Company can’t keep up with competitors, claims it is for altruism
He should accelerate himself off a cliff.
