SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: The Decade Ahead

As the race to AGI intensifies, the national security state will get involved. The USG will wake from its slumber, and by 27/28 we’ll get some form of government AGI project. No startup can handle superintelligence. Somewhere in a SCIF, the endgame will be on.
And yes I know who Zach is the guy who posted the X thread i shared - before someone mentions it
Zach Vorhies leaked documents to the right-wing group Project Veritas, then became a committed anti-vaxxer and promoter of QAnon. In an April video, he laid out his plan to promote 'Plandemic.'
He isn't the topic here though its the openai paper that is 😆
His paper gets so many things wrong. and a very few things right
me I think his paper is total hogwash.
and in rebuttal.
see
@corlin indeed its a heck of a lot to take in and as you say he gets some thing right but more things wrong that said still a little terrifying....... Maybe I need sleep 😆😂
And BTW "get off the train" is the correct idiom she was looking for 😂😂
@b4cks4w be very disappointed if it weren't 😂
Parting thought:
What if we are right?
AGI realism
This is all much to contemplate—and many cannot. “Deep learning is hitting a wall!” they proclaim, every year. It’s just another tech boom, the pundits say confidently. But even among those at the SF-epicenter, the discourse has become polarized between two fundamentally unserious rallying cries.
