Sam Altman said GPT-3 was too scary to release, a crappy old internal version of Gemini was "conscious", Mythos had Amodei going to see the Pope...

Wake me up when Raspberry Pis start refusing to open doors saying : "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."

No no, the word wasn’t conscious, it was “sentient”, and google fired the employee because he uncovered the top secret crazy scary AI!!!!

It’s all just pr stunts, fear spread fast and it’s very effective in marketing and spreading the word, which is effective, when I talk to some normal people they immediately bring the scary AI cyber attacks, kinda good as now all are willing to fund the industry!

Huh? Blake Lemoine was fired because he kept insisting LaMDA was sentient even after Google publicly stated there was zero evidence of it. You have it backwards, Google was downplaying things while the employee was freaking out.

These super intelligence are extremely dangerous, just wait until someone vibe-codes critical infrastructure.
