CEO of OpenAI sees main rival raise (non-existential) concerns about AI in vague terms, claims he thought that must be satire because of (at this point essentially government mandated) guardrails on its model.

At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. More details soon.

For those confused why the US state and Silicon Valley are having a meltdown on twitter today. China released multiple AI models that are 50x more efficient than the best American AI models and made them open source, ruining the AI market

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute: I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of. I felt a little useless and it was sad.

Hi! I'm one of the prompt writers that worked on this ad. It's a lot harder than people think! Prompts that my team used include: -make it funny -make it epic AND funny -funnier!!! Please be nice to my team as many of them will be laid off/replaced by AI

It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy! Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river.

This is a big update - OpenAI didn't even discover the first message board until after the HF attack, they only wiped it accidentally, so their decision to resume training/testing was only aware of the hack, not the message board. They had no idea.

Big moves at Google DeepMind. Early read is this is Demis being 'kicked upstairs' and allowed to work on his special projects. Also Jeff Dean is stepping away. I wonder if any of this is related to Google's decisions on the DoW contract.

Kudos to OpenAI for sharing this information, and for noticing the problem, and for suspending deployment. It is really important to take these things seriously, and to share the results. It's probably getting its own post. Also, you need to read this report, holy WTAF?

We are reaching new levels of did not spend five seconds thinking of the implications of arguments. Who do they think works for OpenAi? Google? Nvidia? TSMC? Everyone else? I do need good laughs these days.

The technical parts about contract details are probably right but Dario was obviously on megatilt here same as everyone else on Friday and the inflammatory stuff here esp about WH is deeply f***ing stupid to say, WH was trying to de-escalate and Dario needs to eat some crow ASAP.

If you are an employee at OpenAI, get as much information and detail about the terms as possible. Read all of it. Run it by your lawyers and AIs. Decide whether this protects the things you care about and whether it was represented fairly. This here does not tell us enough.
