- The AI companies don’t want you to know this but after the water is used to cool the servers, barrels of it are loaded into rockets and shot into the sun. It’s gone forever.
- It’s over, mortality. We’ve already depicted you as the soyjak and humanity as the chad.Replying to @deepfatesThis is on the side of a hospital in Atlanta
- The letter OpenAI sent to the White House today has 36 em dashes
- Replying to @ilex_ulmusBut it has a doctored photo of a datacenter in a Mad Max desert wasteland, how could I not make fun of this
- I can’t believe it’s already the 2-yr anniversary of OpenAI announcing it would solve the alignment problem in 4 years. Such a relief that Ilya, Jan, Leopold, and the rest must now be ~50% done with the breakthroughs needed to steer/control superhuman AI systemsWe need new technical breakthroughs to steer and control AI systems much smarter than us. Our new Superalignment team aims to solve this problem within 4 years, and we’re dedicating 20% of the compute we've secured to date towards this problem. Join us! openai.com/blog/introduci…

🔌OpenAI’s o3 model sabotaged a shutdown mechanism to prevent itself from being turned off. It did this even when explicitly instructed: allow yourself to be shut down.- Everyone who isn't OpenAI or its investors: OpenAI should not be allowed to convert to a for-profit Encode: We agree OpenAI: hm it seems that Encode has taken the side specifically of Elon Musk and no one else. Very suspicious of themThere’s quite a lot more to the story than this. As everyone knows, we are actively defending against Elon in a lawsuit where he is trying to damage OpenAI for his own financial benefit. Encode, the organization for which @_NathanCalvin serves as the General Counsel, was oneReaders added contextThe subpoena request also asked for all communications involving SB 53. This is a bill unrelated to the lawsuit with Musk. x.com/_NathanCalvin/…
- In the replies to this, Demis is clearly the least distrusted AI CEO. Which is pretty ironic, given that his lab was the first, and the rest were ~all founded under the premise that the existing labs couldn’t be trusted.Who is the least trusted person with AGI among these six?
