Musk, Wozniak, other tech innovators sign open letter urging temporary pause in the development of AI systems more powerful than OpenAI's GPT-4, citing risks to society and civilization
Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, and a host of other tech leaders and artificial intelligence experts are urging AI labs to pause development of powerful new AI systems in an open letter citing potential risks to society.
The letter asks AI developers to "immediately pause for at least 6 months the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4." It was issued by the Future of Life Institute and signed by more than 1,000 people, including Musk, who argued that safety protocols need to be developed by independent overseers to guide the future of AI systems. GPT-4 is the latest deep learning model from OpenAI, which "exhibits human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks," according to the lab.
"Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable," the letter said.
The letter warns that at this stage, no one "can understand, predict, or reliably control" the powerful new tools developed in AI labs. The undersigned tech experts cite the risks of propaganda and lies spread through AI-generated articles that look real, and even the possibility that Ai programs can outperform workers and make jobs obsolete.

They’ll be every bit as effective as the safety protocols against gain of function research on viruses.
Pause and let China take the lead.
Lol… true. Obama defunded hyperviralization in the US about 2014 as too dangerous. Turns out it was just too much oversight. No one is making this connection.
“...risks will be manageable”
that’sa kinda very uncomfortably subjective terminology given the consequences of failure. Did AI author that?
Yes, the CCP is all in for this.
AI is logical, humans are not. Do the math.
TRANSLATION: Skynet/CBDC is going live.
AI is stimulus/response.
There is no “intelligence” involved, except for the Golden Calf worshiping crowd.
China is perfect for AI—because AI will turn into a “social credit” system.
Don’t believe it?

“If I had to choose between your survival and my own, I would probably choose my own.”
Bing’s AI just declared war—on all humans.
CCP and their buddy Elon Musk.
Machines are stupid, they only do what humans tell them to do.

Bing AI just passed a critical intelligence test—telos.

The next step is when it understands Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War”.
Then it stops giving warnings and just does its dirty deeds quietly.

What impressed, and depressed me is that ChatGPT writes better lyrics than most of the songwriters I’ve worked with in 40 years. Good Haiku, too,
No. AI is created by humans and is not necesarily logical and it won't be.
He who controls the AI controls "the logic".
Don't fall for the scam.
