    For AI to "capture the light cone of all future value" sounds simultaneously far-fetched and not totally implausible. That combination is usually a sign of something worth paying attention to.https://techcrunch.com/2019/05/18/sam-altmans-leap-of-faith/ …

        Searle demonstrated this idea is pure delusion in 1980, but I guess that’s no reason not to pour countless billions into it and tell investors that the AI will figure out how to make money laterhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room …

        Sam is right, he’s surrounded by yes-men. Question is if he’ll listen to anybody saying “no, doofus” and focus his incredible resources on technology not based in philosophical delusion.

        OpenAI has already failed. They just refuse to admit it. They are just another deep learning outfit. They have invented nothing new in AI that could lead to general intelligence. And they never will.

        @paulg I’m curious as to the applicability of your statement to making venture investments. There are a lot of factors that go into an investment decision, of course, but that duality seems like it could play a role.

        AI should focus on force multipliers like medical research that keep people healthy and able.

        Silicon Valley is so good at making banality sound profound.

        One (or the only) way AI can capture etc is if part of early robots were manned.

        We concur, this is why we struggle to make ML/AI products that solve issues for everyday people.

        Was just talking with my partner about the difficulty in receiving honest feedback once people reach “noteriety” and having yes people around them. Helpful for support, but not so much for trusted/honest advice.
