Viral essay urges people to prepare for rapid advancements in artificial intelligence



CBS News

If you’ve been on social media this week, you’ve likely seen an ominous warning about artificial intelligence in your feed: “Something big is happening.” An essay from the CEO of an AI company, Matt Shumer, likens the current moment to February 2020, right before the start of COVID. Nate Soares, co-author of “If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies,” joins to discuss.

  1. Ai doesnt create more ai, these scientist already said its alive and dont understand and cant explain it… Because its demonic ancient spirits and they know it, the first computers and rocket science were all created through rituals and summoning of information aka unkown technology, ancient.. DEMONIC? no wayyy Satan doesnt exist….

  2. AI趋势肯定是不变的,不过从工业公司方面先大规模应用AI应该很难,通常技术要求高,人的心态习惯难以改变,担心丢工作威胁自己等等阻力都很大。但是如果从日常生活中开始运用AI就容易的多,技术要求低,娱乐性高,威胁性小

  3. People who claim AI will end the accounting profession don’t know the difference between bookkeeping and accounting. The whole point of an Auditor is to have a human being bless and sign off on a company’s financial statements. Likewise, is the client of a CPA going to be hounded and chased down for their tax documents? Are they going to interview the client to find out what changed and how it will impact their taxes every year after changes to tax law? No, AI will never have the ability to use the PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT (aka HUMAN INPUT) required for the job. People just think an accountant is crunching numbers and that’s all they do, but they’re totally ignorant.

  4. Posters are calling this fear mongering. This guy is working solely on AI safety instead of joining an AI company that offers a million dollar salary. AI not being able to solve everything now is not the point and is meaningless. It is getting exponentially better and Hinton who created AI says it is very dangerous.

  5. As long as you have dictatorships like China and Russia that will be racing to get any advantage over the West then stopping the race towards super AGI is July it's like cutting your hands off just before an arm wrestling match

  6. There's no way we're going to be able to slow it down or to understand it I'm the best we can do is put the guard rails in place that need to be there and developed tools that help us try to comprehend what it's doing even if we control it down to the silicone if indeed it wanted to exterminate the human race would find a way but this fear-based logic to me is a bit ridiculous

  7. Imagine a generation that doesn't tie it's identity and worth to their work? I have to get ready in less than 10 minutes to go to work. I would MUCH rather stay at home, get my work out in, study my language, walk the dog, and read. Instead, I will go into an office building with fluorescent light and a mild mold issue and move numbers around in excel for 8 hours (accountant).

  8. I'm on side with Nate that AI poses huge existential risks, but he's extremely biased. This essay is good marketing from unknown small company that now got audience of millions. Nate's problem is – he takes every insinuation something is developing faster than expected to propagate his stance (which again, I agree with, but if he's gonna continue to do this way it he's gonna lose credibility and people won't take him seriously). We don't know where exactly were LLMs used to develop new LLMs. It could be in ideation, building frontend messages, etc. and not advancing the actual architecture. Nowhere did he actually put that to question. If some random person wrote an essay tomorrow saying LLMs now have recursive self improvement, he'd just go with. Nate, do your job better if you actually want to change the minds of smart people.

  9. Two things are inevitable if AI displaces hundreds of millions from any hope for a future. 1.) a large number of AI leaders get Luigi’d. 2.) Taking a stance on extensive regulation will decide the next round of political outcomes, which will ultimately lead to extreme regulation. This won’t end well for AI leaders.
