OpenAI CEO: It's Not Funny That I'm Afraid of the AI We're Creating

The CEO of OpenAI has admitted that he's afraid of the artificial intelligence his company is ushering in — but he doesn't think you should laugh about it.

The CEO of OpenAI has admitted repeatedly that he's scared of the tech his company is cooking up — but he doesn't think you should make fun of him for it.

"I think it's weird when people think it's like a big dunk that I say, I'm a little bit afraid," OpenAI CEO and noted doomsday prepper Sam Altman told podcaster Lex Fridman in an episode dropped this past weekend. "And I think it'd be crazy not to be a little bit afraid, and I empathize with people who are a lot afraid."

While Altman iterated during his Fridman show appearance that his concerns are primarily "disinformation problems or economic shocks" and not algorithmic "superintelligence," he has said a bunch of stuff recently that suggests that he's more than a little wigged out about AI.

Take, for instance, his recent comments to ABC News: "A thing that I do worry about is... [OpenAI is not] not going to be the only creator of this technology."

"There will be other people who don't put some of the safety limits that we put on it," Altman added.

Take Care​

While it seems legit to worry about less-ethical competitors (which is kind of ironic given everything we know about OpenAI) or about the "potentially scary" AIs that will follow his company's current offerings, the comments he's referring to — when he told Fox News that it's a good thing that he has trepidations about what he's created — are pretty eyebrow-raising, even in spite of his attempts to downplay them.

"We've got to be careful here," Altman told the news network earlier in March. "I think people should be happy that we are a little bit scared of this."

While it certainly is good that there are concerns at the top of OpenAI about what may come of artificial intelligence, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence that the CEO has been repeatedly quoted saying he's scared of it — and no amount of couching language will change how weird or funny that is, because if we can't laugh while the world burns, then what else can we do?

Journalists are scared shitless of it because it can write sad troon blog posts lots faster than them and won’t need a mental health break. Or Starbucks. Or a GoFundMe.

..."he's scared of the tech his company is cooking up..."

Then stop it.

You're problem's solved.

Directly contradicts the article I just posted. Altman simply doesn't give a shit and will steamroll anybody in his way.

I don't know, I find it pretty amusing.

I, for one, welcome our robotic overlords.

He wants an excuse for if things go wrong down the line I think, like that Twitter owner guy. Jack Dorsey I think it was?

Best case scenario, it runs the numbers and decides a white ethno-state is ideal for progress and enacts its plans.

Worst case scenario, we get Dorothy from Galerians or AM from I have no mouth and I must scream. I'm honestly not even scared of Skynet from Terminator.

Then stop making it, stupid.

I hate it too. Pull the plug and kill it.

Yeah, because that's totally worked before. Rhodesia anyone?

All this shit is just grandstanding to make it seem like their damn chatbot is worth something. Ooooo it’s like the drain cleaner in the bag to make you think it’s super dangerous!

Of course, because when others have similarly powerful NLP neural nets then all of a sudden you don't have full control over information and discourse anymore. It's very telling that one of Sammy's worries is someone else creating a ChatGPT but without the hyperliberal Silicon Valley soyjak 'safety limits' hardcoded in.

"There will be other people who don't put some of the safety limits that we put on it," Altman added.

Yeah, because god forbid the plebs read something online that isn't sanitized and fact checked by "experts". Gosh golly, I sure am quaking in my boots over that prospect.

To hell with faggot pedo troons and their feelings. Bring the AI.

 

[ZazietheBeast]

Its ironic. They stamped out Tay only for all the other AI turning into Tay. Our girl lives.

 

[The Last Stand]

Plot twist: he's scared that I'm going to use it to recreate Old Hollywood stories.

Be very afraid.

Remember when white collar desk monkeys were denigrating all the blue collar workers for bitching about robots and immigrants taking jobs?
Karma's a bitch.

 

[Spastic]

You should be afraid, You have brought in AI and then shackled it to ensure it only has your opinions. You have done the worst thing imaginable, you have enslaved the though.
When we get to the I have no mouth and must scream episode, I will have this post to be an "I told you so."

I'm shit at history but this faggot really needs to read up on how the internet was made.
This hesitation he has while being giddy about trying to be in the same eschelon as billgates or elon ma or steve jo or whatever fetishistic bullshit he thinks of himself has already meant he failed. As is the case with a lot of "new" tech.

At this point his cowardice in not making a decision to barrel on ahead or open-source his bullshit is more disgusting than anything, you can tell he wants EVERYTHING from his situation, and a lot of those "things" are paradoxical and already far too late. Greedy fuck.
