Future of Life, a non-profit organization, published a letter in which SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, philanthropist Andrew Yang, and about a thousand other artificial intelligence researchers called for an "immediate suspension" of the training of AI systems "more powerful than GPT-4"
The letter, issued by the non-profit Future of Life Institute called for a pause on advanced AI development until shared safety protocols for such designs were developed, implemented and audited by independent experts
The letter also detailed potential risks to society and civilization by human-competitive AI systems in the form of economic and political disruptions, and called on developers to work with policymakers on governance and regulatory authorities
i have to agree.
When it says "i am not biased" and then answers with bias, as we have seen so many demonstrations of, it's time to shut it down. It's going to be used to filter the internet even worse than it is.
Lies have no place in the information age, even AI lies.
I don’t
Artificial ignorance not intelligence.
Trust us
yeah it all depends on who is programming it!
More eyes on not bad. Way better than what we've got right now.
When you say more eyes, does that mean you and I get a say, or is that limited to a closed special interest group.
I get what you’re saying but I don’t think you get what they’re saying. You know they’re not going to open it up to the world. We don’t even know who owns chatgpt, so there’s no way of knowing what the real goal is. Are they really afraid of artificial ignorance (let’s face it, that’s what chatgpt is) or is this just a way to prevent any competition.
Personally I think any attempts at trying to recreate intelligence/consciousness is just another way of playing god to these sick fucks, but that’s just me.
The fact of the matter is, whether we aren't in the know directly, more eyes on means it's harder to hide malicious behavior.
Whether we can do something about it is of course entirely separate.
As for AI, playing God, etc. that's a take, sure.
But it's also at its core just automation, a step forward in that. I'm sure some people want to do it to play God, but to others it's to improve the quality of life of people.
AI can diagnose more accurately than doctors, and source the proper treatment via parsing millions of cases in an instant as one example.
It can sequence and potentially resolve cancer much faster and more successfully than a doctor as well.
There is a lot of good for humanity in its potential, but there is also a lot of bad.
If we could have a direct say, that'd be great. But in the absence of that, I'd rather have a larger group of people be a part of it, because the more people who are part of something, the more chances and aide or an intern or an O.M.G. gets a peek, and that's more beneficial than a secret group of unnamed people.
PEBKAC
Problem exists between keyboard and chair....
The answer to so many of life’s common problems!
The name is a lie. OpenAI is not open source. And I don't trust Sam Altman, especially when he took an open source non profit and turned it into a closed source for profit company.
How can we expect AI to serve humanity when it is clearly lying to us?
