This is my primary issue with Sam Altman. He is 100% incapable of seeing any downsides to AI/AGI and dismisses them very quickly. He also assumes he is blessed with a gnosis to guide humanity to a single end point. I am not saying he is a bad person, just unbelievably naive and short sighted.
He’s 38 years old with 2 years of computer science at Stanford before dropping out. Ok, maybe he’s educated himself in humanities, philosophy, psychology, world history, art etc…but somehow I doubt it.
yeah, the relative youth of so many of these tech gurus is one of the scariest aspects of all..the fate of the world is in the hands of people who all too often are children emotionally.
Earlier this year someone sent musician Nick Cave a song written in his style by the AI ChatGPT. Cave described its imitation as a ‘kind of burlesque’. ‘Songs arise out of suffering’ he wrote, ‘by which I mean they are predicated upon the complex, internal human struggle of creation and, well, as far as I know, algorithms don’t feel. Data doesn’t suffer […] Writing a good song is not mimicry, or replication, or pastiche, it is the opposite. It is an act of self-murder that destroys all one has strived to produce in the past.’
