Brøther, may I have the funds for the AGI?
They don't even know what they're doing or why they're doing it.
We know, right now, without AI, that we have enough resources in the world to feed, house, and educate everyone. The only reason that doesn't get done is an inscrutible system of beurocracy and propaganda.
So what happens when something they would laud as an "AGI" says "hey, to solve your economic issues you have to recognize that we have the ability to create so much food it's no longer profitable"?
Well the truth is that they would most likely hide it.
I know some whine that the money could be used to literally solve world hunger forever. Or to help needy people, or sick kids, or to fund tangible scientific progress... But they're not thinking about the fact that instead, we're going to have the absolute best hallucinations from the richest companies!
Just a trillion dollars more in data centers and we’ll get there bro. We’re gonna have billions of users bro I promise.
HAVE NONE OF THESE ASSHOLES SEEN TERMINATOR
Why are we suddenly in such a rush to invent Skynet?
As with all fictional horror ... humans somehow manage to surpass it irl ... so at some point we would welcome Skynet.
The real problem is if Skynet never manages to get fully independent from it's human controllers.
Still the same war happens, just that the few humans in charge direct it.
artifice (noun) - clever or cunning devices or expedients, especially as used to trick or deceive others.

Congressperson: “Okay, so, let me get this straight. Your company has spent over 20 billion dollars in pursuit of a fully autonomous digital intelligence, and so far, your peak accuracy rate for basic addition and subtraction is... what was it, again?”
Sam Altman: leans into microphone “About 60%, sir.”
[Congress erupts in a sea of ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’, as Sam Altman is carried away on top of the cheering crowd of Congresspeople wearing a crown of roses and a sash reading, “BEST INVESTMENT”]
To be fair, that isn't what it was designed for. A competent AI would simply call up a calculator app, have it do the calculation, and then report back the result.
It's making mistakes and failing to think abstractly at levels previously only achieved by humans, so it's only rational to expect it to take over the world in 5 years
GPT-6Σχ is so powerful that it created the even more powerful GPT-Ωלֶ in only 19 attoseconds. Humanity is doomed. Invest before too late.
You dropped a few of these -> "0"
Sam Altman has been talking about planning to spend trillions on just the data centers, let alone everything else that goes into creating their slop machines.
I suspect the data centers in question here are the "Stargate" project, a "joint venture" between Open AI and softbank where the liquidity for Open AI's part of the investment appears to be money from Softbank that Softbank doesn't have on hand and only intends to give OpenAI if they convert to a for profit entity by the end of the year.
oh and they intend to let a crypto company who has never built a data center build it.
I wouldn't hold my breath on those data centers being built.
Meanwhile, estimated cost of reaching global zero carbon emissions is just 17 trillion dollars.
Reignite three mile island reactors bro trust me bro
Gonna need at least three more zeros on the end of that number, boss. AGI is nowhere near viable with the tech we have now.
