OpenAI's reported 'superintelligence' breakthrough is so big it nearly destroyed the company, and ChatGPT

Geez the reporting around this has been ridiculously sensationalist

just bs. They are trying to come up with an explanation for why altman was fired that is not: we caught him doing lots of illegal stuff.

Connecting superintelligence to the board's recent actions, which Sutskever initially supported, might be a stretch.

Why do you do that in your headline then?

But can it open the pod bay doors?

So was it all just a marketing stunt?

Hope it replaces the most expensive job position: CEO

The "superintelligence" in question: the same old tech, but with a larger context window, which will make it hallucinate a bit less often.

Alright, so the article really doesn't prove anything, just says OpenAI claims something and then fills it with words.

Let's be clear here; we don't even have an AGI. That is to say, artificial general intelligence, a man-made intelligence that is at least as capable and general purpose as Human intelligence.

That would be a intelligence that is self aware and can actually think and understand. Data from Star Trek would be an AGI.

THESE motherfuckers are now claiming they made a breakthrough on potentially creating an SI, a super intelligence. An artificial, man-made intelligence that not only has the self awareness and understanding of an AGI, but is vastly more intelligent than a Human, and likely has awareness that surpasses Human awareness.

I think not.

Why do I keep looking at these threads? The way people talk about this stuff on all sides is so asinine. Nearly every good point is accompanied by missing a big one or just ricocheting off the good one, flying off into space and hitting a fully automated luxury gay space commulist. Hopes, dreams, assumptions, and ignorance all just headbutting each other and getting nowhere.

Oh yeah, I wanted to know what "superintelligence" was and whether I should care. Welp.

Yawn.

Let me know when we get a real Terminator or Matrix or Space Odyssey situation.

Almost sounds like the whole thing was a performance.

I'll believe it when Judgement Day happens and I die in nuclear fire when the wi-fi turns against me.

The whole organization structure & how it functions is just not so smart after all. Have management team considered the Lean Methodology with their business objectives?

I for one welcome our new robotic super intelligence overlords.

Who the hell would have guessed that we'd have to deal with not one but two potentially civilization ending threats in our lifetimes? I want off this crazy ride please!

Hahaha. Yeah. :(
