As Bloomberg reported late last night, new interim CEO Emmett Shear is involved in mediating these negotiations, creating the frankly unprecedented situation where (1) the interim CEO who replaced (2) the interim CEO who replaced Sam and who (3) got replaced for trying to get Sam back is now (4) deeply involved in a new effort to get Sam back.

Sam Altman agrees to return to OpenAI in a bizarre reversal of fortunes
- chase that $86 billion tender bag... i dunno manz seems like that shit might be overvalued after this...jonny_quest_lives
- Board kinda showed it's all fugazi if your market cap is dependant on that cat at the helmjonny_quest_lives

Current discussion is about OpenAI achieving proto-AGI and Sam wanting to commecialize it (for Microsoft) and the board wanting it to give it for free for all manking.
This development was kept between Ilya and few devs and Sam, without the knowledge of the full board. Microsoft didn't knew, but if true, and if they will use it, it will become the greatest company in the history - that is not good news, knowing Microsoft's history.
Very very complicated situation...
Oh well

- "Proto agi" = artificial narrow intelligencejonny_quest_lives
- That’s fucked up I assumed and naively so it seems that it was the other way around, that Sam wanted AI free for the betterment of mankind and the suits_niko
- On the board fired him because they wanted profits._niko
- Larry Summers on the openai board.... yeah this is pure grift from here on out.jonny_quest_lives
- A couple quotes from the same article...
"A powerful artificial intelligence discovery that they said could threaten humanity..."yuekit - "Given vast computing resources, the new model was able to solve certain mathematical problems... on the level of grade-school students"yuekit
- Seems very difficult to separate hype from reality with this stuff especially when they keep bringing in sci fi tropes.yuekit

Interesting read from earlier this year...the vast network of low paid human workers needed to make AI models work.
- How much is this true for visual AI like Midjourney and Stable Diffusion?yuekit
- I've suspected midjourney has some backend curation...jonny_quest_lives
- Most models started with hand authored labels at some point. Mechanical turksrobotinc
- I still think they have a pre seeded QA step running in the background and or they've refined their model to deliver near artstation quality outputs.jonny_quest_lives

This story looks suspiciously like some PR damage control they rushed out to make people forget the shitshow of firing the CEO and then being forced to bring him back. It's wild how the media takes it totally at face value.
AI is one of those topics where it's complex enough that you can easily fool people. The people involved in it seem to have successfully seeded the narrative that AI is so powerful it could wipe out humanity -- even though all we have now are chatbots -- and that we're really close to achieving "AGI", like maybe it'll happen next weekend or something.
I wouldn't be surprised if we eventually find out many of these AI Safety groups are funded by the companies themselves.
- Don't believe the advanced model bs at all. Sam Altman is a Stanford dropout who is really good at getting investors to invest.jonny_quest_lives
- Altman creeps me out too like a sociopath who purposele makes those wide round trust me eyes so he can get close to stab you with a knife.jonny_quest_lives
- didn't realize he's just a shitty hype man, I thought he was one of the inventors/engineers_niko
- and though the sleazy board as trying to force him out so that they can monitor this better but it was actually the other way around. Fuck him and fuck microsof_niko
- *Monetize this better_niko
- Yeah I also had that impression at first niko...yuekit

"Artificial intelligence doesn't exist"
- Hour+ video all about semantics.kalkal
- I think it's more about how people confuse machine learning with "real AI" and the media perpetuates that view.yuekit
- Na, that stuff she listed is AI, what she's referring to (in the context of saying what ML/DL is not) is AGI and conflating it with AI. Having said that -kalkal
- I agree that the media does do the same.kalkal
- Sure I guess Siri could be considered AI depending on how you define it. But in terms of actual "intelligence" it seems like there would be a step below AGIyuekit
- where it hasn't surpassed humans but can still learn, understand and reason to some degree. Many people seem to think ChatGPT is like this.yuekit
- Sure, it's exhibiting some properties that we might expect from AGI but not to the full extent, nor all of them.kalkal
- The argument being made by more skeptical people is that it's nowhere close and the whole thing is a fraud basically.yuekit
- i.e. GPT only presents the illusion of being a proto-AGI leading to all the media hype (and possibly bad decisions by companies).yuekit
- It's an interesting debate and I'm still trying to decide where I come down on this. This podcast gives a more in-depth view.
https://www.buzzspro…yuekit - Did you see OpenAI's best test for consciousness?kalkal
- No but funny thing is if you ask ChatGPT itself it will deny pretty strongly that it's conscious or intelligent.yuekit
- You can also trick GPT into making it recite its testing data.
https://not-just-mem…yuekit - Their test didn't work for me (OpenAI may have already patched it) but this did
https://twitter.com/…yuekit - I think that's a peak behind the curtain of how it's just an elaborate probabilistic text synthesis machine. But that doesn't mean these systems aren't useful.yuekit
- The test is, gather dataset as normal, train model as a control. Then remove any reference to consciousness and the human experience from the dataset.kalkal
- Has to be fine tooth comb situation, not a single reference of hint as to what consciousness is actually like.kalkal
- You then prompt this new model that should have no idea what consciousness is, you provide it a definitionkalkal
- If it's like "I've never heard of that before but I know exactly what you mean", chances are, it is in fact conscious.kalkal
