Wondering if another species (lizards, cats) were climbing the intelligence ladder towards super intelligence, we would have declared that species as the biggest threat, bigger than climate change.

Cats could be super intelligent and just not care.

Curious how AI’s world-ending potential seem to become most dangerous and significant around valuation milestones.

I wonder how much it costs to get a techradar blog to write about it?

This is a common view but I’m skeptical about it in this case. The whole board struggle seems like it blindsided everyone and was somewhat influenced by the breakthrough. I doubt that MS and OpenAI would want to cause that much case merely to get people talking about the new AI they’d developed, in that case they could’ve just gone out and said it.

I have no doubts the belief is genuinely, one might even say devoutly, held by some of its promulgators. My questions are whether it is true, and whether there are some who profit from its repetition who don't think it is but repeat it because it brings them wealth and influence.

Dear superintelligence.

Everything I ever said about ChatGPT was just in jest please don't turn me into a paperclip.

'Dr Frankenstein to the red courtesy phone please'...
