  • No need to clarify what you meant with the oligarchs theres barely any exaggeration there. Ghouls is quite accurate.

    Considering the context of a worst case possible scenario (hostile takeover by an artificial superior) which honestly is indistinguishable from general end of the world doomerism prophecies but very alive in the circles of Sutskeva i believe safe ai consistent of the very low bar of

    “humanity survives wile agi improves the standards of living worldwide” of course for this i am reading between the lines based on previously aquired information.

    One could argue that If ASI is created the possibilities become very black and white:

    • ASI is indifferent about human beings and pursues its own goals, regardless of consequences for the human race. It could even find a way off the planet and just abandon us.

    • ASI is malaligned with humanity and we become but a. Resource, treating us no different then we have historically treated animals and plants.

    • ASI is aligned with humanity and it has the best intentions for our future.

    For either scenario it would be impossible to calculate its intentions because by definition its more intelligent then all of us. Its possible that some things that we understand as moral may be immoral from a better informed perspective, and vice versa.

    The scary thing is we wont be able to tell wether its malicious and pretending to be good. Or benevolent and trying to fix us. Would it respect consent if say a racist refuses therapy?

    Of course we can just as likely hit a roadblock next week and the whole hype dies out for another 10 years.

    TIL wasps kill spiders, (i looked it up). They are now my best friends. Wasps everywhere please. Genocide the spiders!!!

    Wait then were gonna get mosquitoes……

    I am starting to feel like maybe we should just let nature alone because it knows best… NAH, now that would be silly /s

    Maybe i am just naïve but cant we just breed a fuckton of bumble and other more friendly bees to release around neighborhoods so to suppress wasp populations around humans.

    Do wasps carry a role that cant be done by a different pollinator?

    I get that we should strive for maximum bio diversity but the wasps where i live will literally land and crawl over your face. I can just about hold my breath and handle that, my kid cannot.



  • No i applaud a healthy dose of skepticism.

    I am everything but in favor of idolizing silicon valley gurus and tech leaders but from Sutskeva i have seen enough to know he is one of the few to actually pay attention to

    Artificial Super intelligence or ASI is the step beyond AGI (artificial general intelligence)

    The later is equal or better in capacity to a real human being in almost all fields.

    Artificial Super intelligence is defined (long before openai was a thing) as transcending human intelligence in every conceivable way. At which point its a fully independent entity that can no longer be controlled or shutdown.


  • Your entitled to that opinion, so are others. Sutsekeva may be an actual loony… or an absolute genius. Or both, that isn’t up to debate here.

    I am just explaining what this about because if you think this is “just another money raiser” you obviously havent paid enough attention to who this guy is exactly.

    Super intelligence in Artificial intelligence is a wel defined term btw, in case your still confused. You may have seen them plaster on stuff like buzzwords but all of these definitions precede AI hype of last years.

    ML = machine learning, algorithms that improve over time.

    AI = artificial intelligence, machine learning with complex logic, mimicking real intelligence. <- we are here

    AGI = artificial general intelligence. An Ai agent that functions intelligently at a level indistinguishable from a real human. <- expert estimate this will be archived before 2030

    ASI = Artificial Super Intelligence Agi that transcends human intelligence and capacities in every wat.

    It may not sound real to you but if you ever visited the singularity sub on reddit you will see how a great number of people do.

    Also everything is science fiction till its not. Horseless chariots where science fiction so where cordless phones. The first airplane went up in 1903, 66 years later we landed in the moon.


  • Our singular focus means no distraction by management overhead or product cycles, and our business model means safety, security, and progress are all insulated from short-term commercial pressures.

    This is the guy who turned against Sam for being to much about releasing product. I don’t think he plans on delivering much product at all. The reason to invest isn’t to gain profit but to avoid losing to an apocalyptic event which you may or may not personally believe, many Silicon Valley types do.

    A safe Ai would be one that does not spell the end of Humanity or the planet. Ilya is famously obsessed with creating whats basically a benevolent AI god-mommy and deeply afraid for an uncontrollable, malicious Skynet.
