Anthropic chief says AI could surpass “almost all humans at almost everything” shortly after 2027
Amodei: “I think progress really is as fast as people think it is.”…
this statement definitely makes me believe AIs can at least replace CEOs right about now because they are largely redundant and mostly based on bullshit
"Amodei co-founded Anthropic in 2021 with his sister, Daniela Amodei, and five other former OpenAI employees."
guy who needs the AI bubble to continue says AI will be the best thing ever in just a couple years.
This just in: Persons looking to profit from AI report that AI is great. Will cure all ills. They totally promise. Buy now they say.
Crypto and AI are today's magic beans.
"Shortly after 2027" is a fun phrasing. Means "not before 2028", but mentioning "2027" so it doesn't seem so far away.
I interpret it as "please bro, keep the bubble going bro, just 3 more years bro, this time for real bro"
Which AI models, though? Your synthetic text extruder LLMs that can't accurately surpass humans at anything unless you train them specifically to do that and which are kinda shite even then unless you look at it exactly the right way? Or that fabled brain simulation AI that doesn't even exist?
Instead, he prefers to describe future AI systems as a "country of geniuses in a data center," [...] [and] that such systems would need to be "smarter than a Nobel Prize winner across most relevant fields."
Ah, "future" AI systems. As in the ones we haven't built yet, don't know how to build, and don't even know whether we can build them. But let's just feed more shit into Habsburg GPT in the meantime, maybe one will magically pop out.
Look I can implement a CEO replacement pretty simple:
Roll d4:
Close! CEOs aren't human!
Really starting to get a bit sick of Ars Technica. They're OK for general interest tech stuff, but their editorial line (and some of their commenter base) have been really credulous about AI vendors' PR.
With Ars, the best option is to stick to general tech, science, public policy and tech culture. I say this as someone who has read them for ~20 years and has been subscribing for ~10+ years.
I've seen people criticize Eric Berger for being up Musk's ass about SpaceX, though I'm simply not that passionate about space stuff anymore. And so far I don't see them posting anything about the NIH freezeout, even though that surely affects a vast swath of their reader base. Seems odd.
Same. They've been a staple in my RSS feed list for so long (and they are one of the few sites where the RSS feed isn't just the headlines). But recently I've been thinking several times already about throwing them out.
Anthropic chief is a fucking idiot, and a liar.
Naive moron if he believes what he says, or a fraud otherwise
And lacking empathy too. I do the things I do because I enjoy it as a human being. I cannot be replaced, and "nothing" can enjoy stuff in my place.
AI cannot enjoy what I do. I would be a luddite if the whole point of AI was to go beyond humanity, but those idiots always talk about how it can replace us which shows they don't get what being human is all about (but not surprising since they only care about money).
funny how we went from the "trust machine" blockchain grift to the "could be an acceptable level of trustable machine" ai grift
That's why we need to combine them! AI on the block chain can burn an unprecedented amount of electricity to impress VCs and get ever more funding! The line is going to go so up that all other lines will look down by comparison!
This is more telling about the order of society than it is about the power of LLMs.
Ask an AI to make an image with a word on it, lemme know when it can actually spell the word right. Because right now it spits out the concept of a word, which really isn't the same thing.
It's a classic God complex. Whoever thinks that can create something better than human can as well call himself a God. That's bullshit.
AI doesn't have to get better, we just have to get collectively worse.
"We've recognized that we've reached the point as a technological civilization where the idea, there's huge abundance and huge economic value, but the idea that the way to distribute that value is for humans to produce economic labor, and this is where they feel their sense of self worth," he added. "Once that idea gets invalidated, we're all going to have to sit down and figure it out."
Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, is one of the last people on earth that you'd want to have this conversation with.
And they'll use it to make themselves even more wealthy. If there is something that makes work easier, those who oversee will demand more results.
