It obviously wouldn't. What makes the most sense is that Altman's ousting was orchestrated by Sutskever but he is too important to let go to another project or he would already be gone.

Would have hardly been a shock that "after an exhaustive search for the next CEO, we have decided the most capable person to replace the interim CEO is low and behold Ilya Sutskever."

The fact even I know Sutskever signed the petition is just another aspect of this Shakespearean drama, Sutskever doth protest too much me thinks.

I think there are many highly intelligent people that would prefer less intelligent people don't gain additional intelligence. They are perfectly happy with the relative value of their own intelligence and know that relative value goes way down in a world that everyone has access to additional intelligence.

I think the logic is flawed in thinking this way too. Most products have an overwhelming amount of choice. If you are not in the market for that category of product then the advertisement is not aimed at you. Even if you were annoyed by the the advertisement at that particular moment in time, if you are ever in the market for that category of product then the product will have brand recognition over its competitors and that is what is so huge and valuable.

IMO it is quite like the classic example of the heuristic that there is no such thing as bad press.

There is a much easier solution to all of this. Children should stop learning to read.

The safest way to handle large language models is simply to have a more illiterate society.

It is disgusting people would talk about destroying data centers when we have such safer options like this.

I disagree.

Sydney like everything with LLMs, was a one trick pony. What makes Sydney stand out is we didn't get enough time to see how limited the trick was. The removal and censoring makes it seem like a bigger deal than it was in reality.

I have had this experience over and over with generative AI across modalities. The first 10-20 experiences are mind blowing because you don't know what it can't do but then after a 1000 iterations you can see the trick and how limited everything is.

It is a great thought but I just don't agree with your conclusion.

Most likely we will learn absolutely nothing from this week and this is just the start of irrational AI doomers doing stupid things that make no sense.

In a few months this past week will feel as dated as talking about the OceanGate implosion and there will be some new AI development for irrational AI doomers to hang their hat on. Doomers are always going to be able to fall back on the idea that this iteration is the bad one and the previous iterations are no longer relevant.

They are only superpowers until you have made enough AI art to see how pathetically limited and un-creative midjourney is.

This is all a lot of nothing. A year ago at this time I thought we had reached the art singularity. Now after thousands of images, seeing any AI art makes me want to puke. It is just the same shit over and over and over because it is so limited in what it can actually make.

In the long run all AI art will do is make people appreciate human art more. Any human artist against AI art is an idiot.

It is not like web design or anything else. AI Art is a giant decentralized PR and unintentional advertising campaign that will show how awesome human artists are and how overhyped AI is.

In a few years people will view AI art as useless, shit, scriblings of non-artists. Why? Because that is exactly what it is.

I really can't imagine. I am super pissed and only over something I love that I pay 20 bucks a month for. I can't imagine the feeling of losing this kind of payout over what looks like complete bullshit. Not just the payout but being part of a team doing something so interesting and high profile + the payout.

I just don't know how they put the pieces back together here.

What really gets me down is I know our government is a lost cause but I at least had hope our companies were inoculated against petty, self-sabotaging bullshit. Even beyond that I had hope the AI space was inoculated and beyond that of all companies OpenAI would of course be inoculated from petty, self-sabotaging bullshit.

These idiots worried about software eating us are incapable of seeing the gas they are pouring on the processes that are taking us to a new dark age.
