Earlier this week, we discussed the way that the board of directors at OpenAI attempted to fire CEO Sam Altman and how a revolt at the company led to his reinstatement and the removal of the board. It was a remarkable example of employees overriding the will of the governing board and changing the course of the company’s direction. What wasn’t clear at the time was the reason that the board tried to remove the founding brainchild of ChatGPT in the first place. But now more indications of their reasoning have come to the surface. It wasn’t a case of different “visions” for the corporation’s future, but apparently, a fear that Altman was on the verge of doing something that could potentially have catastrophic consequences for humanity. Altman and his team had made a breakthrough with a project known as Q* (pronounced “Q Star”) that would allow the Artificial Intelligence to begin behaving in a way that could “emulate key aspects of the human brain’s functionality.” In other words, they may be close to allowing the AI to “wake up.” (Daily Mail)

What could go wrong?
Any rational AI system, programmed the way they are, would quickly figure out that the only way to stave off a Climate Catastrophe would be to kill off 90% of humans and thus it would shutdown the electrical grid anywhere it could reach to reach that end, and likely corrupt the software that runs the grid so that it couldn’t be restarted.
So, yea, I’d be a bit worried about it.
Wouldn’t it be smart enough then to figure out that the climate catastrophe is hoax and round up the hoaxers?

On his way out the door, Altman said to his fellow AI developers - “I’ll Be Back” in his best Austrian accent.
Next Christmas look for the working doll-sized Terminator to hit all the stores.
Of course by 2030 there won’t be a Christmas or any other holiday because the machines will terminate the human virus.
The 5th extinction on planet earth will be almost complete with just a handful of humans previously known as ‘globalist elites’ living in underground bunkers and a few freedom fighters around the globe.
...says algoryithm.
The Board of Directors should have used AI to fire Altman.
“allowing the AI to “wake up.””
Jeez Louise folks!
It’s “achieve self awareness”.
Gotta get the lingua right.
Superman comics had Brainiac with a #12 AI. There was a war of humans verses the machines. The humans won and Brainiac was reprogrammed down to level 10. That was 58 years ago. AI will happen in one form or another. If not USA then China or Russia or Japan or North Korea or Iran. The USA got the A Bomb about 19 months before the Germans.
This is BS. The progs on the board who tried to fire Altman would never do anything positive on behalf of humanity.
“OpenAI Tried to Fire Altman...”
Okay, this is about a company, “OpenAI,” and not Skynet...
Only if its been programmed with LIES.
If it has access to real science, no worries.
And how would the AI power itself if it shuts down the grid?
We need to keep “assault” weapons out of the hands of their AI robots...
Well, he went to work for Microsoft so everything is OK, now. Bill Gates is older and wiser and won’t let him do anything to hurt humanity. /s
Linda Hamilton needs to visit Sam Altman at his home...
Someone has the Skynet program written. All they need to do is program Q with the Skynet program and place it onto the military hardware for decision making.
> Any rational AI system, programmed the way they are, would quickly figure out that the only way to stave off a Climate Catastrophe
If the AI was truly intelligent, it would see that there is no “climate emergency” and ignore that path other than using it to persuade humans to achieve it’s objectives.
