The story of computing is the story of humanity: this is a story of ambition, invention, creativity, vision, avarice, power, and serendipity, powered by a refusal to accept the limits of our bodies and our minds.

Fully support this important proposal from @demishassabis. The time for us all to act is now.
"...we must use this precious window before AGI arrives to shape this technology for the benefit of all humanity."

Furthermore, the people who make such extraordinary claims together with the billionaires who funnel vast and unwarranted piles of money to such efforts so as to amplify their power and control are the very last people I would want controlling or setting policy for any such technology that even approaches a fraction of what these outrageous claims might achieve.

I say this with all due respect but simultaneously with a rage that can unmake stars, a software-intensive system that “exhibits all the cognitive capabilities that the brain has” is not “a few short years away”.

The AI sprint is hurtling to a world where a small number of billionaires - without accountability or consequences- controls the information that flows to world at scale.
This is a world in which trust, empathy, creativity, and love - behaviors that are central to what it means to be human - must burn even more brightly so as to push back the darkness.

The AI sprint is hurtling toward a world where anyone can build personal concierges to do everything from executive presentations to March Madness brackets

@OpenAINewsroom Respectfully, it was a woman - Katie Bouman - who led the development of the algorithm that created the first image of a black hole.

@multiplanet1 And all that notwithstanding, he has failed at that vision.

Elon Musk once admitted that during the worst year of his life he would wake up every morning and immediately vomit from stress before he could even get out of bed.
This wasn't when he was broke. This wasn't before he made his money. This was while he was running Tesla and SpaceX simultaneously, sleeping on the factory floor, and watching both companies almost die in real time. He described the feeling as "chewing glass while staring into the abyss."
Reporters asked him why he didn't just sell everything and retire. He had already made $180 million from PayPal. He could have bought a house on an island and never worked again.
His answer was quiet. He said he couldn't. Not because of ego. Because if SpaceX failed, nobody else was going to try to make humanity multiplanetary for another 20 years. And 20 years might be too late.
He chose the vomiting. He chose the abyss. Not because he wanted to suffer. Because he didn't trust anyone else to care enough to do it.

You may remember the first image of a black hole that computational astrophysicist Chi-kwan Chan helped capture.
Now he’s working toward something no one has made before: the first video of one. youtube.com/watch?v=4XSI4S…

I am happy for you, Ravid.
But this is not AGI.

The AGI is here - Can an AI agent find my ancestors? I gave my AI agent just one thing: my grandfather's name, born in Poland. That's it. Everything else in this thread was found on its own. 🧵

Today is July 6. #OTD in 1854 physicist Georg Ohm passed away. Using equipment of his own creation, he found that there is a direct proportionality between the voltage applied across a conductor and the resultant electric current; this relation is known as Ohm's law.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

Abdul El-Sayed: “Every dollar we send abroad to drop a bomb on another kid is a dollar we don’t spend here to invest in your kid’s school or your healthcare. The reason our economy is rigged so we have a trillionaire and the average person can’t afford their basic life is because we have an economy where we’ve allowed big corporations to buy and sell politicians to rig the system against us”

We don’t as humans watch us race against cars or watch humans play chess against computers, competition will always be about humans against human performance. Authenticity of human performance and provenance will be in even more demand
