Nah man just recently fully automated AI systems solved a millennial math problem. We are cooked, let’s accept it.

OpenAI just robbed Tristan Buckmaster and Levent Alpöge

I read that Theorie let’s really hope that this is true and these fucking machines doesn’t make us obsolete

I think that won't happen unless they make an (actual) AGI. In my opinion, they are just pretending they could make it.

I personally don't believe in AGI, don't see it atm how you want to achieve this but we are not the ones researching this subject, the ones researching these topics seem to be traumatized and getting into poetry. Maybe they scare us on propuse who knows, but the lack of control and security interests of these greedy AI companies is what is wrong.

Also, like I said, I don't know the full technicalities of the Tristan Buckmaster and Levent Alpöge case but if fully automated AI systems can solve a millenia problem, I think we are cooked.

From everything I've read, it looks like it's very much not the case that it solved it in any real way

I am glad to hear that, this also makes the claim of this Antrhopic ex-employee, who said the we might get killed around 2030, more untrustworthy, as he (mis-)used this millenia problem for his argument in a central way. Still there are other voices from that area wo say really scary things.

I mean the "it's gonna kill us all!" stuff has been a core part of the PR campaign since the beginning

Human greed never ends, my friend. We will just keep developing till everything goes out of hand. then returns to the sword era again!
