He gets invited to these Illuminati meetings and says that? Anyone not living under a rock knows the whole world needs an energy breakthrough. Half them believe we need it to save the planet and the other half want it so they can build bigger things. When have we ever not needed an energy breakthrough?

If only AI was smart enough to bring us this breakthrough…

Going out on a limb here: Is AI really an efficiency and productivity increasing device if we have to *checks notes… have an energy breakthrough to be able to do it?

It sounds to me like rich people are admitting it actually takes more resources to support AI than it does fucking workers who already exist and don’t need a fucking energy breakthrough to function.

What we really need is another paradigm shift in AI. Current transformer models are great, but they’re clearly not quite what we’re looking for.

That said, an AI breakthrough on that scale is about as likely as an energy breakthrough, so I guess there isn’t much practical difference, really.

I like how many years ago, the limitations to programming was the hardware. This led to programmers needing to be creative with their solutions. Maybe they should find better ways to train their AI…

Everyone: Guys if we don’t scale back our energy consumption we’re literally gonna make the planet unlivable

Everyone: Guys if we don’t reign in AI it might kill us all

Altman: I have an important request

Why is he letting us know OpenAI is eventually doomed?
