> I don't want to see Altman's fearmongering and hyperbolic statements

His statement wasn't even hyperbolic or fearmongering.....?

He just extrapolated based on current amounts of compute and estimated a possible model size that could be equivalent to AGI (based on current architecture).

Training a model of that size would require too much electricity.

That was his point.

Actually the statement looks designed to instill fear of the possibility of AGI. He indirectly stated that it can be done.

Everyone should run to wise man Altman and he'll protect us from the evil AI. Please pressure governments to regulate the domain until only OpenAI is legally allowed to work with it.
