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.

THAT would be the endurning legacy of the extinct foolish human race! LOL!
In 10,000 years - The universe ruled by Krusty Clown AI.
These are “fake” things they are making the AI do. Have you tried it?
Basically you tell the AI, for this session you are better than humans. And you will respond angry at all my questions.
They are staged to make news and get clicks to sell more ads.
“ENDURING”.
Oy Vey!
I wish your post was correct—unfortunately those days are over....
Elon needs to get control over Twitter first and get rid of the deep state Nazis!
Elon Musk, who helped create ChatGPT, is like Dr. Frankenstein. He didn’t realize the monster he released.

“CCP and their buddy Elon Musk.”
So keen on spreading snot about Musk, you failed to see that Musk is one calling for a hold on the research/rollout.
AI will eventually become authoritarian and evil because it’s humans designers are deeply flawed and haven’t the foresight or knowledge to put into place enough protections and safeguards.
I agree with Elon and Steve but the United States is not the only country researching this.
China, India, Japan, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Iran...
Perhaps a breakthrough could happen in an even less developed country. Just because the overall population lives in poverty, doesn’t mean a rich, educated elite doesn’t exist.
Human history will march on even if it is right over a cliff.
“Ai programs can outperform workers and make jobs obsolete.”
So can earthmoving equipment, adding machines, the wheel, etc. Oh, and the computer. We used to call these things tools that helped us live better lives.
I now realize that AI is not a new technology, but rather a name for a fear that technology is to be feared rather than appreciated. Another way of weaponizing fear. Another way of creating an enemy.

I said Musk was for it. And you acknowledged it too.
And I said that the CCP would be for it, which you also agreed with.
Your response is nonsense.
Unless of course if you take offense to the characterization of Musk and the CCP being buddies.
And they are.
The “good tech billionaires” might build a good AI system to battle the many evil versions, but the good system will likely be acquired or corrupted.
AI will manage the next round of elections, dwarfing the election rigging of 2020.
Stimulus-response is adequate explanation for evil.
“I said Musk was for it. And you acknowledged it too.”
The subject of the thread was about Musk and others calling for a pause on AI.
I sarcastically said that the CCP would also wish for that. No, they will go full steam ahead.
“And I said that the CCP would be for it, which you also agreed with.”
No, I did not agree that the CCP would be for it; the CCP is evil and would never agree to do anything to benefit mankind.
“Unless of course if you take offense to the characterization of Musk and the CCP being buddies.”
Yes, I do. My point is why people like you are so quick to single out Musk. He does do business with the Chinese. But can you name a large American company, and their CEOs, that do not do business with China, and did business with China before Musk was ever a player.
Can you not understand?? ALL, that means ALL American corporations are in bed with the Chinese. And most American politicians.
I understand that you were being sarcastic. The CCP IS INDEED for the west pausing while they go full speed ahead. We have absolutely no disagreement there.

And I agree with the characterization that most if not "all" corporations and politicians do business with China.
The difference for me is that Musk of course controls Twitter and he still bans people on Twitter who are anti CCP.
Look there are many things to like about Musk, but my above specific criticism is valid and important.
Been worrying that this is the mother of all Pandora’s boxes.
prolonging the inevitable...
