I do not want to enter in systems theory and the like here (see link at the end), but while it is nice and correct to call for
"Developers have the responsibility to ensure that #AI systems like #ChatGPT are developed ethically, with safeguards in place to prevent any misuse or harm."
And though #Elmo is probably the worst incarnation of a #misanthropic#billionaire, #Zuckerberg has only been less successful in his visions (#Metaverse...a, fortunately failed attempt at #TheMatrix), but has been more intelligent in hiding his character than the former. How is the saying?--Only trust a billionaire as far as you can throw...
...him. Well how far could you throw #Bezos who's been building data centers around the world, collecting information on millions and consumers and literally one of to go-to companies in the #West for globally scalable B2B cloud solutions.
But then, some animals are more evil than others, to borrow a bit from #Orwell again. Let's not forget about a forgotten #SciFi movie, #Wargames, which again--you might have guessed it, by #Elmo's former #DarthVader mentor,...
...and the adoption rates for shiny new techs like trains, electricity, and autmatic telephone switchboards.
To cut a long (but interesting) story short: the adoption of new technologies took way longer than anticipated, and worker displacement did take place but was more than offset.
All very solid arguments. except:
1) never before has a technology gained almost global traction simultaneously (poor people w/o internet access an #NorthKorea being left out) and...
...a "giant leap," as #NeilArmstrong phrased it, but not "for mankind," but towards the abyss.
Why? Well it is not just the almost complete access to the wealth of freely available information on a quasi global scale, as well as the network effects that come with it (e.g. just comparing and translating all #Wikipedia entries into and from all languages), but even more worrisome: the loss of a time delay. This moves removes a huge obstacle towards #LLM's...
...developing from #GAI's into #AGI', sentient or not: #ChatGPT has arrived in the present, thus removing one of the most important dimensions that separated it from #RL.
Another important barrier has already been broken, #AI has entered the #biosphere, although that tech is in its very early stages:
However, regarding the conclusion, you should have stuck with your gut feeling, IMHO:
"How #ChatGPT is one step closer to becoming an Uber-AI."
I must admit, when I first heard the news that ChatGPT, #OpenAI’s #chatbot, was finally getting connected to the web, my imagination ran wild. Images of #dystopian future scenarios flooded my mind, reminiscent of the fearsome #Skynet from the #Terminator movies..."
"The #ManhattanInstitute (#MI) created the #racist policy “Broken Windows” in the 1990s which was popularized by racist Mayor #RudyGiuliani. It involved “preemptive policing.”
I will not even begin to talk about how #Thiel and his #PayPals have been working to dethrone the #USD as the world's reserve currency, and would probably delighted if the #US defaulted.
The fish stinks from the head down. Who really thinks that end-of-the-corporate-food-chain developers will have any say about safeguards and ethics in #AI...
