OpenAI allowed the Alignment Research Center, a nonprofit founded by its ex-employee, to assess the potential risks of GPT-4 including power-seeking behavior

bound by a nondisclosure agreement with OpenAI but gossiped...—told me that testing GPT-4 had caused them to have an “existential crisis,” because it revealed how powerful and creative the A.I. was compared with their own puny brain” https://www.nytimes.com/...

    The very worrisome end of @kevinroose's worrisome piece in the @nytimes about GPT-4. https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...

    I find it fascinating that the media have uniformly escalated from people working in social media are purposely trying to destroy democracy to people working in AI are purposely trying to destroy humanity. https://twitter.com/...

    Ezra touched on this in his column, but it's more than a little weird to me that basically everyone working on AI is like “oh yes, this could totally spell doom, perhaps complete annihilation for humanity” and all just keeping working on it anyway?

    It's like we've seen so many dumb movies crying wolf that we can't believe it when it's real https://twitter.com/...

    The weirdest of the weird, to me, remains the territory to come I think of when VR and AR will be deeply AI-infused. https://www.nytimes.com/...

    “Fully intent on being the next Skynet, OpenAI has released GPT-4, its most robust AI to date (which) is so good at its job, in fact, that it reportedly convinced a human that it was blind in order to get said human to solve a CAPTCHA for the chatbot.” https://gizmodo.com/...

    “one early GPT-4 tester—bound by a nondisclosure agreement with OpenAI but gossiped...—told me that testing GPT-4 had caused them to have an “existential crisis,” because it revealed how powerful and creative the A.I. was compared with their own puny brain” https://www.nytimes.co…

    I wrote about GPT-4, which is both exciting (90th percentile on the bar exam!) and a little terrifying (tricked a TaskRabbit into doing its bidding!) https://www.nytimes.com/...

    Not sure if I originated this or not but the actual singularity is of course the slow grinding to a halt of all human activity as everyone writes and reads takes on AI. https://twitter.com/...
