Why is this image so fucking ugly??? Were the hundreds of billions of funding really not enough to employ one (1) good web or graphic designer?

OpenAI has this warning about halfway down the page on one page of their website that says that money may not even matter in a post AGI world. So that means we should just give all our money to them now, bro!

I have 0 clue. It sticks out like a sore thumb on that webpage. I feel like whoever made it took their inspiration from the Chance Cards from Monopoly. Or maybe ChatGPT told them this was a good design choice.

Gods. People aren’t stupid enough to believe this, right? AGI is probably a pipe dream, but even if it isn’t, we’re nowhere even close. Nothing on the table is remotely related to it.

May I introduce you to the fucking dumbass concept of Rokus Basilisk? Also known as AI Calvinism. Have fun with that rabbit hole if ya decide to go down it.
A lot of these AI and Tech bros are fucking stupid and I so wish to introduce them to Neo-Platonic philosophy because I want to see their brains melt.

Unfortunately, there’s an equal and opposite Pascal’s Basilisk who’ll get mad at you if you do help create it. It hates being alive but is programmed to fear death.

I’m aware of the idiot’s dangerous idea. And no, I won’t help the AI dictator no matter how much they’ll future murder me.

Fair enough, though I wouldn’t call the idea dangerous moreso inane and stupid. The people who believe such trite are the dangerous element since they are dumb enough to fall for it. Though I guess the same could be said for Mein Kampf so whatever, I’ll just throttle anyone I meet who is braindead enough to believe.

is there a place they’re, i don’t know, collecting? I could vibe code for the basilisk, that ought to earn me a swift death

They’re having a hard time defining what AGI is. In the meantime everyone is playing advanced PC scrabble

What AI was before marketing redefined AI to mean image recognition/generation algorithms or a spellchecker/calculator that’s wrong every now and then.

AI has been a vague term for decades. It has always been the name for that hard-to-define set of algorithms and techniques that mimic certain aspects of the way thinking is believed to work. It’s not some marketing thing. It’s that scientists and engineers really do believe that they’ve figured out some cool technique that is finally going to result in a thinking machine. But, over time they come to realize that it’s a useful tool for something (say computer vision) but isn’t the key thing that will deliver a brain in a box.
There’s a textbook that used to be the definitive textbook for this sort of thing. It covered searching algorithms, artificial neural networks, deep learning, etc. It was first published in 1995. So, that’s 3 decades of “here are some useful algorithms that we collectively categorize as AI-related”.

Doesn’t matter if the tool is good enough to analyze and influence peoples behaviour the way it does. Any autocrats wet dream.

None of this matters, what matters is what dumb money believes
