You're probably a reddit loser who doesn't know anything about AI. You probably hate Elon too.

My AI Agent. So his endgame becomes clear. I understand social phobias and fear of deep connection but he just revealed that he wants or is motivated by wanting a personal AI agent that will know literally everything about him and accept and help him - a feeling he wants from people in his life but has not had. This is a frightening motive for creating a “system” that could hold so much harm to human society and life. I didn’t expect to be so alarmed when starting this podcast. Lex has been amazing in this interview.

After scrolling through quite a few comments I finally found this thread. I'm surprised more people aren't pointing this out. Yes, Altman gives CEO answers, but also... He's learned a "love" vibe too well, and I feel like he's using manipulative tactics constantly on top of that. I don't quite trust him. There are a couple short moments that I think are real, but there are more moments where it's hard to tell if he's honest at all... Certainly he reframes each question slightly to avoid much true detail...

@tobyausneurobi

Ай бұрын

When he said "I love Ilya" you could just sense that deep down he probably feels the exact opposite about him. People like Sam Altman are really really dangerous.

1:09:22 “You're not the man you used to be, Sam." "Very different job now than what I used to have." I watched this part so many times and it still sends chills down my back. I listened to the 2 podcasts with Sam so many times and examined them in detail. In the first podcast, Sam's stance was "Look at the amount of pettiness among the "experts" when we started, now look where we are. We are going fast and going strong. Great accomplishments, huge milestones, bright future ahead." He was the guy defying all odds and proving everyone wrong by making something remarkable. The future was unknown, and in a dark cave, there was light. Now things have completely changed. By moving towards that light it becomes clear that AGI is not an IF but WHEN, and as things move forward at exponential speeds, we are racing toward that light we see, kicking and pulling on the people around us, and what's waiting for us at the destination? Would we run off a cliff without being able to stop? The level of certainty in his face and voice just 11 months ago that OpenAI would either make AGI or "not make AGI but still make humans super great", and the level of uncertainty we see today that "AGIs are coming any second and the world is not ready for it", is insane.

@Kobe29261

What was remarkable between then and now to me was his wisdom; his going on record to say essentially he'd at least hope to set aside his own need/desire for power in exchange for saftely.

@@VejmR I take it to mean more certain it's on the horizon, less certain the uses will be worth the risk. I suspect Sam has a much better understanding of how even people he would have innately trusted can be swayed by the stress of power. That doesn't extrapolate optimistically to the development or potential uses of a tool as powerful as AGI.

@xingzhexin8843

Ай бұрын

​@@VejmR To put it simply, he has become certain that AGI will be here, most likely very soon, and now the work has changed from "Can we maybe create AGI?" to "What do we do with AGI to not ruin the world." It's the same with nukes. "How do we build a nuke?" is a scientific problem. He was Oppenheimer. After nukes were made it becomes a political game: "How do we leverage our nukes to gain advantage in world politics?" His identity is shifting or has already shifted from being a research scientist to a politician. That's my understanding of this line he said. Edit: I can't spell. Removed an extra "s".

Seems Sam is very protected now after the power struggle. A bit of mental hardening after the ousting. I think he is thoughtful, smart and empathetic but easily hurt. Lex is great on the questions! glad to listen to this conversation with an important figure in the early days of this disruptive technology.

When AGI can propose novel experiments and dream up interpretations from results will be amazing

Interesting how he avoided the question about why Ilya thought he needed to go, isn't it?

1:11:54 one moment they're talking about nuclear fusion and then they're talking about nuclear fission but the subtitles keep on saying "fusion" on and on and on. You should be careful about this because maybe some non-english speakers might understand something else, or nothing at all. I'm not part of that bunch but I do tend to enable subtitles sometimes just for having a clearer understanding of some words I might not hear properly (for different reasons) and I happened to notice this. This is just an example, because I've noticed other mistakes like this throughout the whole video.

1:06:30 "what's the way we release this thing", makes me think he refers to making Sam give honest first hand answers. I adore the dynamic that's happening. It really is about getting Sam to open up. But of course, it's hard.

I had to check my phone every time Sam pauses thinking an Ad is popping up, but bro is actually thinking not to mess things up 😂

Ай бұрын

@@Astra2 he takes on the function as investigative journalist. In that he does a pretty poor job. Not sure what else his purpose in such interview would be. Altman could as well have just used a Sora bot to ask easy questions that make him come out on top of everything. For example, why did Lex not press harder on the opensource issue. Letting Altman simply say "I don't even know what this lawsuit is about" is as disingenuous and dishonest as it gets. OpenAI not being open at all. Letting tons of outsiders contribute for free, for Elon to invest millions, and then shutting the whole thing down and distributing unheard sums to friends and family, aka employees. Really? Lex had nothing to ask about that? Or the issue of Sora being trained on unlicensed content. Whatever one's position on this may be, it's an important issue worth many upcoming lawsuits. I stand by my stance, one of Lex's worst conversations and interviews and a great chance wasted to get to the bottom of many very important topics.

1:33:50 Yes it did change the world. In the future, November 30, 2022, will be looked at as an inflection point. It is when there was a leveling of the world of intelligence. I was 67 and suddenly i can develop software applications, do PhD level research. Ask the deepest questions of my heart, and on and on. Sure it has many limitations but before I could even complain, new models with more capabilities were released every month. Just when i knew how to get a certain task accomplished without error (hallucinations), some newer plug in, the gpt comes along and that's no longer a problem. And just over a year later, we have text to video (Sora)! Absolutely spectacular growth and advancement. I've never been more excited to be alive. 🔥

It was good to hear Sam and the fact that they want to keep a free version of their product and the option to pay for advanced features it great. Lex consider bringing the NVIDIA CEO or a live interview with Snowden.

Lex is basically a really awesome prompt machine! Thanks for this interview.

This conversation, besides Sam’s comments on the board movements, largely mimic that which took place last year. I think these models have exceeded Sam’s technical depth. And I think the closed source, for profit business plan, Open AI has adapted to prevents lower level personnel from speaking to the challenges they are dealing with day to day, that the greater community might enjoy and derive real value from. This felt so high level that I could conceive it being synthetically generated.

Your beautiful assertions are well respected however they exist outside of reality. This man cares nothing about you and the means that shall destroy your life as you know it are just an end to his desired outcomes. If your notion of well wishing provides you with comfort and wellbeing then by all means, do what you need to do. Reality begs to differ. Nerd assasins with anti human views, beliefs and deep seated personal interests now control the potential future of human existence. All the while sitting behind vast fortunes and a level of power that insulate them from the fallout of their desired outcomes. Outcomes that you and I will have no choice but to navigate blindly. There's no good intentions in this space. It's money, power and control. Sam Altman always attempts to obscure that fact in his disclosures. He is an anti-humanist. A human who hates himself so much that he believes computers should have ultimate control and if that results in the extinction of the human species? So be it. Wish him all the kindness in the world. Just know he looks at you with disdain and wouldn't bat an eyelid at you being programmed out of existence.

LF: But artists and creators are worried. SA: "Sure, artists were super worried when photography first came out. Then photography became a new art form and people made a lot of money." But currently, artists and photographers are losing money because of A.I. Sam brushed it off as if those of us who've spent a decade educating ourselves in this field and two decades practicing this art can do what? Simply retool? A brief exchange about a serious topic with hugely significant consequences.
