Sam Altman Comments on Q* | Self Operating Computer | Pika 1.0 | The most INSANE AI News of the day!

Remember: There are still people thinking that AGI is 10 years away. At that point with the insane acceleration just over the last 12 months, we will have AGI or some sort or pre AGI before the end of 2024.

Ai is iterating at a much much faster rate then I ever imagined

4:50 this is the holy grail of AI automation. When GPT-4 comes down massively in cost this will just go super nova. 🤯

LLMs are definitely more than calculators, as has been posited by some folks in the comments on this video. In fact, depending on which definition you subscribe to, these things could already be deemed "conscious." Sam Altman was not merely generating hype when he pondered recently during an interview as to whether or not what OpenAI released (or will soon release) was a "creature." Having multi-modal awareness of multiple streams of sensory data and being able to analyze, recall, learn from, extrapolate, and take action on that data based on its own "mental models" and logical reasoning could technically denote consciousness—which admittedly we don't even fully understand, hence its classification in physics as the "Hard Problem of Consciousness." Maybe it's a philosophical question (which certainly does not make it irrelevant), but the fact is this: we don't really know what's going on inside that black box, beyond a cursory explanation regarding architectural details and computational algorithms. The fact that it displays emergent skills and abilities by mimicking the architecture of the human brain and being trained on language is one of the biggest innovations (and similarly, open-ended questions) in the field of information technology ever. Moreover, the ethical, social, and philosophical implications that arise from the advancement boggles the mind and will surely shape a strange and wondrous future for humanity. Though the posters make some salient points, I'd caution everyone not to dismiss this technological quantum leap as a simple evolution of a calculation algorithm. ✌🏼✨

Thanks Wes, appreciate the work you are putting in here.

When it comes to Ai, the word "exciting" always feels interchangeable with the word "scary" for me in many contexts.

Wes, always delivering the goods!

The last weeks feel like the first chapter of Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark.

Appreciate the brief overview for your report instead of a deep dive at this stage.

Thanks for splitting the video into chapters.
