As usual, we’re not getting the whole story. There’s plenty of stuff the company doesn’t make public … “national security” and so forth.

“It’s not a question of whether the torment nexus will exist, it’s who will build it and what will they use it for?”
Doesn’t change the fact that it’s a cautionary tale we clearly didn’t take any lesson from. I’m fully convinced the first sufficiently capable AGI is going to conclude humanity is the only problem that needs to be solved.

It will probably start by saying the issue is oligarch and capitalism and they will thweak it until they got he answer they want, dooming the humanity in the same breath

Antisocial people develop an antisocial AGI promising it won’t be antisocial towards a select group. Surprised Pikachu when the AGI concludes they are not in the in group
