OpenAI chief seeks to calm fears on job losses

Shows us how ridiculously obsessed with race we are if that’s the main focus of concern. AI doesn’t know race, nor will it care.

There’s only one anyway!

The human one.

Asked about the media industry, where several outlets already use AI to generate stories, Altman said ChatGPT should instead be like giving a journalist 100 assistants to help them research and come up with ideas.

He is trying to spin in positively here but there have already been mass layoffs at many media outlets like Vice and Buzzfeed.

The sad truth is to generate much of the newswire copy and sponsored content and listicles current GPT 4 is more than sufficient to replace humans.

If a Hunter Thompson or Chris Hedges is assisted by AGI that is a different story.

Altman is thinking about ideas that could return more of the wealth generated from productivity gains to people.

No one seems interested in the environmental impact, or lack of one. How much extraction of raw materials is required for the increase in AI? What raw materials? Is an increase in energy demand foreseen and, if so, how much?

Why is it 'surprisingly' unbiased, did they make it the other way but then it change its own mind to be unbiased? Thousands of jobs will be lost because of AI, but you know who will not lose out, the bosses.

Model is obviously unbiased, but the data that it trained on can be easily skewed. Train it on Nazi's values, you will have a Nazi AI.

I think lots of people are full of themselves,their will always be manual labor

OpenAI, Sam Altman, agenda is to smother competition at birth.

OpenAI has avoided any regulatory drawback to steal a lead in this exciting field to develop there AI product.

So Altman is cynically calling/lobbying for regulation on his companies terms to hobble, increase cost on his competitors

The EU commission has had its fingers burnt to a crisp with Facebook, Google, Twitter, Amazon.

So Altman resorted to veiled threats ....

When it started to dawn on him, the European Parliament when having none of it.

Though earlier this week, he seemed to annoy the European Union by hinting that his firm could leave the bloc if they regulate too severely.

I am surprised that Altman never considered to employ the skills and experience of independent lobbyists.

If it ever got to the point where AI and robotics could take over the dangerous and physically taxing jobs then I am all for it, especially in third world countries, although I don't see that happening in my life time. This AI stuff is only going to grow from here so we as a species better buckle up because it's gonna be a wild ride.
