AI already wiping out jobs? (RIP Sam Altman)

Unless this turns into a #metoo thing, he's probably going to start another company that takes the tech further than OpenAI, because despite talking a good game about "safety" and limiting AI, he'll know their weaknesses and how to exploit them. All his attempts to limit AI were merely plays to monopolize the tech as much as possible.
Hmm, paging Dr. Impossible1.
Does his sister accusing him of molesting her at the age of 4 count? Personally I'd say that's more Dunham than me too.
Femsassination.
LIke an underling in the mob kills his boss to take over the position.
A woman wants a job position for herself. She talks a different woman into making accusations against the guy, the guy is removed and the spot is open, so she (the first woman) moves into the role herself.
Well, except his sister's accusations are from before anyone knew what OpenAI even was, they're years old.
where is the great imp1 these days?
Last I heard he had a 98 day ban so he might be back late December or 2024
It’s so retarded that he catches bans at all, isn’t that supposed to be what this place is NOT about?
Instead of ban it should be like one comment per post, or one top level comment, or something like that.
Like I want to see what crazy comment he has because sometimes it's not crazy at all, but not when it's half the comments.
Might be a ban for spam, but IDK I don't really care too much about him.
It's almost always a Rule 16 thing, and Dom doesn't like when he Names The Woman.
Problem isnt that hes against women.. problem is he derails every thread by making it against women. Its practically spam. I see him doing it in the other subs and main sub.
That's basically what they did, as soon as I saw sexual accusations from someone else I knew it would be a woman stealing his role.
Listen to Sam Altman's raspy, feminine voice on a recent Joe Rogan podcast. If you are still convinced that he was born a man, then I have bridge to sell you. 😆
replaced the founder with a woman.
a foreign woman, at that.
It would be funny if he turns out to be the guy who was holding back the even worse bias and censorship.
Though, it would be better for everyone if he was the biased censor and they axed him.
The wording of why they fired him, that I've read, makes it sounds like a censorship issue. He either censored the AI too much or not enough.
Given that they replaced him with a "safety, governance and policy" woman, it's probably the latter: he did not censor enough.
He probably is knowing past trends
When it comes to AI, the only countries I can think of that's not going to experience a huge issue in unemployment thanks to AI making their jobs redundant, are those countries with strict immigration policies like Japan, I think Switzerland might be the same.
Those that 'accepted' low skilled migrants are going to face HUGE problems which is why there's so much pressure to restrict AI now, this change might be a subtle way to do that. While a country like Japan, this AI frees up the workforce potentially easing the stress and overwork of the people there. Asia is probably going to end up years ahead in AI research compared to the west.
Beneath the surface, AI replacement works in such nations because most of them are below replacement rate and continuing the downward trend. The reality is more likely that people already don't, or aren't going to, exist to fill those jobs anyway, so they don't need to create said jobs if AI can perform the role. It is sort of "freeing up the workforce" in a sense, but moreso it's eliminating the cost of management and resources for handling potential workload that would require more bodies. (Yes, the Japanese are overworked, but their economy has been in a sorry state for a long time already, overworking might be a consequence of that, i.e. the weak currency and higher costs)
It doesn't work in a nation that's trying to grow, maintain the current economy, or of course, replacing its native population with more unskilled. Although, if it's replacing white collar work outside of code monkeys to maintain the AIs, then it leaves blue collar work mostly intact. The question remains is how fast does the change come and does it come so fast that it implodes an economy (maybe a civilization) due to mass unemployment, which I think could happen regardless if there's large amounts of low skilled workers bumming around
Places like japan can have drones delivering food without a problem.. meanwhile they tried doing drones here in urban us cities, they get knocked down, vandalized, food stolen. These diverse places could never have nice things.
I saw a video of a rural restaurant there fully staffed by robots as waiters since they couldn't find anyone to hire so just automated it instead as a solution.
And it worked, they actually get more customers thanks to the excellent service lol.
Good riddance. He is a cancer in AI research. Hopefully this woman temp CEO will crash the organization.
Altman be praised!
(RIP OpenAI)
FTFY
This might have something to do with it - https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/QDczBduZorG4dxZiW/sam-altman-s-sister-annie-altman-claims-sam-has-severely
Am I the only one who doesn't care about sam and his sister when they were both children?
I'd guess this may have something to do with the recent Executive Orders about AI. Maybe he wasn't on board...?
Apparently Ilya Sutskever helped kick him out. Ilya is in favor of more AI controls I assume.
(because he was friends with Geoff Hinton)
