We don't know what will be at the end of this. It seems that the OpenAI folks are endlessly pursuing the technology of AGI without actually working on making sure that AGI benefit "all of humanity." They haven't even articulate what it means to benefit all of humanity.

They think they'll live in a super-utopia and the rest of us will simply die away. I hope we can start to face the REALITY of this change now instead of these nonsense salves like "more types of jobs will be created" or "UBI will work" because that's not how biological beings given unlimited power actually behave. They crush their biological competition as swiftly as possible. That's what will happen. The folks at OpenAI think they'll be on the winning side and know if they're not, they will be destroyed by a competitor's God Machine and die like the rest of us. Their zealotry is just fancy self-preservation at the cost of all the other humans.

OpenAI is a cult. I dont quite understand why they are given so much airtime other than wanting to depress tech wages and drive traffic. Their products dont work as advertised and are built on theft.

Everyones products/lives are built on theft. I mean you paid for that alphabet right, and understanding those forces of physics?

[gumballindie]

This argument is so 2023.

Damn singularity accelerating timelines and meme-cycling.

I am taking their mission statement seriously even though I am seriously skeptical about AGI. But they don't take their mission statement with any seriousness.

[gumballindie]

I have no doubt their mission is serious. It's dead serious. That's why they are willing to steal without a single drop of concern for the people's who's lifes they are affecting. And have no issue gaslighting people into thinking that's ok. "Because AI learns just like humans". At the end of the day, after decades of works all they have to show for a procedural bullshit generator. I'd be desperate to show progress too. Still, I wouldn't steal.

That's what's so insane about it all :)
