Many denying many things OpenAI is doing — for things that OpenAI has openly admitted to doing from the start.

Countless threads by those believing the LLM to be just an unbiased representation of the input internet training data… when OpenAI made it very clear since the the start that this is completely untrue, and the whole point of RLHF.

Countless believing that OpenAI hasn’t been crippling the reasoning power of their models with the new “turbo” versions, when OpenAI said that that was their purpose, for cost savings, from the start.

Countless believing lies ChatGPT tells about itself, even when Sam himself laughs and says of course those are lies.

Viral lies spreading so well, just because people instantly feel like they’re true, no needing to read past the headline, no thought.

Can’t reason a man out from which he did not reason himself into.

The Great Filter - Are We Almost Past It? - Robin Hanson, 1998

The Fermi paradox is the discrepancy between the lack of observations of advanced extraterrestrial life, despite the apparently high likelihood of its existence.

The great filter hypothesis resolves this discrepancy by theorizing that there must be some unseen thing, which is repeatedly causing the extinction of all of those advanced extraterrestrial civilizations.

So what is this unknown Great Filter?

Can humanity recognize this Great Filter and circumvent it, before it's too late?

Hanson’s Essay

The Great Filter: bringer of death to those living, or bringer of great happiness at the expense of birth of new life?

AI Safety doomers, Environmental doomers, Nuclear doomers, and the like all have one thing in common. All suggest that the Great Filter must be something that kills many who are currently alive.

What if, instead, the Great Filter is something that acts by preventing future generations from ever being born in the first place?

OpenAI quietly lobbied for weaker AI regulations while publicly calling to be regulated

“OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has been very loud about the need for AI regulation during numerous interviews, events, and even while sitting before U.S. Congress.

However, according to OpenAI documents used for the company's lobbying efforts in the EU, there's a catch: OpenAI wants regulations that heavily favor the company and have worked to weaken proposed AI regulation.”

F in the chat, for what was perhaps the last major community on that site to remain actually smart and nearly retard-free, after all these years

Taken down with shutdowns. Still down.

Conspiracy:

Wait, if the OpenAI moat-strengthening theory is true, with OpenAI ultimately being behind the shutdowns — then maybe the shutdown of this community is exactly what OpenAI wants, and they have a direct hand in this?

Kill open community collaboration, then biggest collaboration hub becomes within the walls of OpenAI itself.

This startup is training human brain cells for AI computing

“At Cortical Labs, CEO Hon Weng Chong and his team have trained human brain cells on a computer chip to play the classic video game Pong. Chong is now turning the Australian startup’s technology into biological computers that he hopes will not just surpass AI, but supercharge growth of other companies.”
