Ford says one of its biggest mistakes was thinking AI could replace experienced engineers. The company had to hire, promote, and bring back more than 350 engineers after realizing AI couldn’t replace years of hands-on experience. Ford’s VP of Vehicle Hardware Engineering, Charles Poon, said AI is a great tool but only as good as the information it’s trained on. Those experienced engineers are now training younger employees, improving AI, and catching problems earlier before cars go into production.

“Once we all get into the bunker…” - Says Ilya Sutskever - Chief Scientist at Open Ai. “I’m sorry,” the researcher interrupted, “the bunker?” “We’re definitely going to build a bunker before we release AGI,” Sutskever replied. “Such a powerful technology would surely become an object of intense desire for governments globally. The core scientists working on the technology would need to be protected.” “Of course,” he added, “it’s going to be optional whether you want to get into the bunker.” Two other sources I spoke with confirmed that Sutskever commonly mentioned such a bunker… “There is a group of people - Ilya being one of them - who believe that building AGI will bring about a rapture,” the researcher told me. “Literally, a rapture.” This is the brains behind Open Ai… They are creating an Ai Apocalypse… And everyone is just watching.

It is absolutely crazy how the last two weeks have changed the entire future. It is unprecedented that access to "frontier" models was cut off,and presumably remains cut off forever. It feels like a watershed moment, as if access to the highest level of human intelligence had been blocked. Open source is the future. Open source is the solution. The last two weeks have powerfully demonstrated this.

This doesn’t sound good, friends. It doesn’t sound good at all.
