how could these people actively try to open pandoras box and make all humans obsolete? if we survive this i imagine there will be something like the Nuremberg trials for these people who traded in everyones safety and wellbeing for money. and i hope the results will be the same.

Minimum wage in California is $16.50 per hour, so they are making that at least.

Altman said on a recent podcast that Zuckerberg is poaching OpenAI researchers, giving offers of up to $100,000,000 (one hundred million).

Many worrisome aspects with this in terms of smelling like a super bubble.

Even being bullish on LLMs, it is not obvious this is the right paradigm even for AGI let alone something beyond AGI.

Seems like it could be 10 years from now "Remember during the peak of the bubble when Zuckerberg was paying researchers 100 million dollars to try to make a super humanoid robot out of just a mouth?"
