Fully agreed.

It's very disheartening that this paper was signed by popular individuals like Musk and Wozniak. But hopefully it won't be taken seriously.

It is sad that your main post is getting downvoted.

Everyone should upvote your thread so people can realize how dangerous people like Yudkowsky are. If people in government read stuff like this and become afraid, AGI/singularity could be delayed by several decades if not a whole century.

Unfortunately, the letter is legit and some of the signatures are real (like Elon Musk's, Gary Marcus's), etc, but it does include quite a few fake signatures from both notable and fictional people.

The fear mongering is picking up traction. A 6 month moratorium on AI research? At this stage? This is beyond ridiculous.

Yup, they're all playing catch up, including Emad (the stable diffusion guy),

They know if GPT5 is released within 1-2 years, it would be game over for them in terms of catching up. It would take a while for them to even recreate gpt 4 or even gpt 3.

Even Google can't seem to catch up. Bard is like a GPT2.

Lol that takes the cake 🤣🤣

Sarah Connor 🤣🤣

Yup. And many do not even know if their names on the list yet lol. It's not hard to add people's name to the list.

Large Language Models ---like ChatGPT.

At some point, LLM's did not work because we did not have the computing power for it. The alternative approaches will probably lead to AGI. The computing power just might not be here yet.

I've been reading his writings and books for over a decade. He is extremely passionate about AGI and the singularity. His concern is that by focusing too heavily on LLMs, the AI community might inadvertently limit the exploration of alternative paths to AGI. He wants a more diversified approach, where developers actively explore a range of AI methodologies and frameworks, instead of putting all their eggs into the LLM basket, to guarantee that we can be successful in creating AGI that can take humanity to the great above and beyond.

Hey dude. You are correct that the phase of matter (solid, liquid, or gas) is largely determined by how the atoms or molecules interact with one another as a group. The interactions are driven by factors such as temperature, pressure, and intermolecular forces.

When considering a single atom of uranium suspended in water, the concept of phases is not applicable in the same way as it would be for a macroscopic sample of uranium. This is because phases are macroscopic properties that emerge from the collective behavior of a large number of atoms or molecules. A single atom does not exhibit a phase by itself, as the phase is a result of interactions between atoms or molecules.

To answer your second question, the difference between a single uranium atom suspended in water and a single uranium atom in space would be their surrounding environment and how they interact with it. In water, the uranium atom would interact with the water molecules and any other impurities present. In space, it might interact with cosmic rays, other atoms, or molecules depending on its location. However, neither of these situations would qualify the uranium atom to be classified as a solid, liquid, or gas, as these phases emerge from the collective behavior of many atoms or molecules.

Plasma, as you mentioned, is another state of matter in which atoms are ionized, meaning their electrons are stripped away, and this occurs at high temperatures or under intense electromagnetic fields. This state is distinct from solids, liquids, or gases, which involve neutral atoms or molecules.

So, phases (solid, liquid, or gas) are macroscopic properties that arise from the collective behavior and interactions of a large number of atoms or molecules. A single atom does not exhibit a phase on its own.

To play devil's advocate, I think it would be extremely foolish to rely on LLM's to take us all the way.

What is the "catch" here? It sounds too good to be true

Yup. All they had to do was remove that part at the bottom.

But---I do think an email addressing fatalities requires more human touch.

>At the bottom, it revealed it was written by AI: 'Paraphrase from OpenAI's ChatGPT AI language model, personal communication, February 15, 2023

Lol. So this is why they've only given access to a very limited number of users. It's not ready yet. They don't want their stock prices to crash.

In all serious, this is embarrassing and concerning. Maybe Gary Marcus and the Facebook guy who said LLM's are an exit ramp on the highway to AGI could be on to something.

I hope not but this does not look good. There is zero intelligence here.

Can't you see in the article that it's not even allowed to write cover letters for you?

I don't think tricks like this will work with the New Highly Censored Bang GPT.

I'm excited about all the news, but do we have any usable AI products yet that has already been released? Not just announced?

I think it's wise. Everyone is focusing on the LLM's. It's not good to put all your eggs in one basket.
