Let's play the devil's advocate. And let's say Sam is a conman, any definition of AGI or ASI will never arrive.

What has he to gain from all these? Assuming the bubble will burst in the end. Fortune? He will get his salary over the course of the bubble. I am not entirely sure how he can make money if in the end the money runs out.

I'm going through more of the Wikipedia category entries.

AA 1420 (1999) is notable for similarities with Jeju 2216:

The aircraft continued past the end of the runway, traveling another 800 feet (240 m; 270 yd), and striking a security fence and an ILS localizer array. The aircraft then collided with a structure built to support the approach lights for Runway 22L, which extended out into the Arkansas River. Such structures are usually frangible, designed to shear off on impact, but because the approach lights were located on the unstable river bank, they were firmly anchored. The collision with the sturdy structure crushed the airplane's nose, and destroyed the left side of the plane's fuselage, from the cockpit back to the first two rows of coach seating. The impact broke the aircraft apart into large sections, which came to a rest short of the river bank.

Captain Buschmann and 8 of the plane's 139 passengers were immediately killed in the crash; another two passengers died in the hospital in the weeks that followed.

145 souls, 139 pax, 6 crew, 11 fatalities, 110 injured, 134 survivors.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Airlines_Flight_1420>

Even though this aircraft also hit an ILS structure, fatalities were far lower than those of Jeju 2216, likely as AA 1420 had decelerated significantly both on the runway (despite severely limited wheel and air brakes) and its subsequent 240 cross-terrain slide.

Atlantic Airways Flight 670 (2006) literally fell off a cliff. 4 fatalities of 16 souls. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_Airways_Flight_670>

Bangkok Airways Flight 266 (2009) literally struck a (presumably nonfrangible) control tower. 1 fatality, 71 souls. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangkok_Airways_Flight_266>
FWIW OpenAI themselves give a reasonably specific definition of AGI in their Charter [1]:

highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work

But I guess the "as we have traditionally understood it" bit from Sam's phrasing may imply that in fact he means something other than OpenAI's own definition?

On iOS, tapping on the top ”status” area will bring you to the top under any browser. It’s an iOS-wide functionality on any vertically scrolling view. I sometimes miss that on Android, but on the other hand the scroll acceleration is so much faster on Android that you can always scroll to the top quickly.
Ok, well, I guess we're not going to get a proper retrospective for any of the OpenAI stuff for awhile. That's too bad. In the spirit of the post I wish Sam had written, I'll say one thing I learned from watching the show: if you take advice even from your own board, and what they suggested fails, they will still fire you even though it was their advice. So you might as well just always do what you think is right.

This applies to other leadership roles as well.
There you go. His blog post is literally talking about what will be discussed at the Annual WEF meeting:

From [0]:

> "While nearly 40% of global employment is exposed to AI, it is anticipated that most of this impact will be to augment work rather than to fully automate existing occupations."

The problem here is that once these AI agents as Sam just said “join the workforce”, eventually those jobs are replaced and there will be no alternative for those lost jobs. Starting with customer service and it will move up and so on.

Both of them are now coining the start of this as "The Intelligence | Intelligent Age".

Elon is a clear counterpoint to this.
Score is based on the interrogator, a human. If you read a Markov chain bot's text you'd guess it was a bot probably 80-100% of the time. With a real human, you'd guess it was a bot maybe 0-30% of the time, depending.

I'm making up these figures, but the point is lower is better, or "more Human-Like". Test was specified as >50% meaning "accurately determined human vs. bot more than half the time". The site claims LLMs are now guessed correctly less than half, which is how the turing test was defined as per the site.

It makes sense, even if you disagree it's significant.

It's interesting to consider the above excerpt, in light of the below excerpt from OpenAI's charter:

>We are concerned about late-stage AGI development becoming a competitive race without time for adequate safety precautions.

https://openai.com/charter/

OpenAI doesn't claim to be leaders in safety and alignment research.

They "believe in the importance" of being leaders in safety and alignment research. For whatever that's worth.

But they do acknowledge themselves as the leading AI company.

Is it really in our interest as a species for the leading AI company to merely "believe in the importance" of leadership in safety and alignment?

Among the "all sorts of reasons" for people to attack the leading AI company, this strikes me as a fairly legitimate one. Just saying.

Also -- I notice that OpenAI seems to be criticized more than leading companies in other industries.

If maintaining your lead isn't in the interest of your stated mission statement... maybe you shouldn't actually be working to maintain that lead?

Did Sam or OpenAI ever publicly respond to Jan Leike's comments when he left? (Former head of alignment) https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1791498174659715494.html

“I chose… Rapture!”
I think these are the least insightful comments I’ve seen on HN, maybe ever.

Hating from the sidelines is easy. AGI (or whatever semantics you prefer) is simultaneously:
1: One of the most positively influential technologies developed in human history
2: Magnifies the failures of our current governance structures 1,000 fold.

Adaptation is/will be required, and it’s not going to be easy. But the finish line promises a significantly better future for (potentially) all. Sitting here arguing semantics, complaining about technological evolution (surface level insights, I suggest going a level deeper), or making weird anti-altman statements instead of anything substantive is, well, not interesting.
You might find AA 1420 (1999) of interest, similar situation though far fewer fatalities (11 of 145 souls):

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Airlines_Flight_1420>

Partially-effective runway braking and a much greater distance from runway perimeter to the nonfrangible ILS structure likely played a role.

That sounds like regression.

If this problem of regression occurs as regularly as your quote implies then the fault is not in these proposed alternatives, or even in the likely faulty existing model, but in the gaping wide holes for testing these things quickly and objectively. That is why us dumb software guys have test automation.

"Normal Accidents" is a term for when things, well, normally go sideways in complex systems, and there's a whole book on it. Otherwise, it's pretty typical in disasters for there to be a laundry list of root causes and contributing factors: the Titanic was going too fast, there was hubris, and icebergs, and it was sad when the great boat went down. Could the disaster have been missed or been less bad if one or several factors had rolled up some other result? Maybe! That's what a full investigation is for, to suss out what went wrong and what things are most fixable.

Or some things are simply hard.
The pilots on 9/11 were intentionally directing their aircraft toward specific structures to maximise destruction, casualties, and terrorist impact. That was their express intent and mission for which they had specifically trained.

In all likelihood the pilot of Jeju 2216 was not specifically directing his aircraft to the nonfrangible ILS Muan Murder Wall. There is no way to charitably argue otherwise.
Well unlike most countries Australia and China have a lot of two-way trade (though imports to China are double exports) because China imports lots of raw minerals (as well as food) from them, and noone buys as many raw materials as China does. And thousands of km is still much less than twenty thousand to Europe.

what is the message? I think it's there are people behind this with human and relatable motives and foibles, the consequence of this change is difficult to apprehend, the main tool they have is to be incremental, and it's just hitting its stride.

the comment about understanding what AGI means was compelling. I'd guess it may be something arrestingly simple, and they have the sense to not be meta about it, or to sound it out with freighted and inadequate words- they will just introduce it as it is.

good luck.

> Half of the population has an IQ below 100 and can be gulled into voting themselves into oblivion.

While technically true, I’d caution against assuming IQ is at all representative of average practical or applied intelligence. There’s plenty of writing out there outlining the issues with IQ as a measurement.

I also think the problems we’re struggling with—insofar as the ethics of utilization of AI—boil down to humanity’s overall inability thus far to reach consensus on what we want to optimize our society for: the most good for the most people, the most good for some people, or something completely orthogonal to good or bad for any number of people (pursuit of knowledge, culture, unity, whatever).

Regardless, a lot of folks seem to have good and widely agreed upon ideas of what we do not want and I’d love to see more conversations around how we prevent the worst case scenarios given the current political and economic environment.

The entire reason that people are hating from the sidelines is because there's no clear finish line.

Trying to do things 100% properly isn't necessarily good.

I know it's sort of a difficult shift in mentality especially for anyone with a programming background, but not doing anything at all for fear of doing it incorrectly, or delaying doing the thing because of all the setup seem much higher risks to me.

In my experience, you can just start doing the thing. It probably won't make any money anyway, in which case you can just stop. If you make some money, then you give some (say ~$1k) of that money to a bookkeeper who will then figure out how to declare it properly.

This is the real reason he has been pushing for the for-profit change to happen soon. So he doesn't have to rely on salary and instead the equity.
