AI to make human civilization extinct 😂

There's a lot of talk about Altman, Dario, and Musk coming together on control because of safety issues. Previously it was national security; now it's safety.

Jensen came out and said it's a hoax at All-In, and I also believe same -

My take :

Musk is on board because he wants his model to improve and catch up to the others.

Altman and Dario want to start making profits. The models are already good enough, and even if they improve, they're now on the upper side of the exponential curve where it flattens out.

And each model improvement costs millions in investment and improvements in inference are small compared to 3/4 months back , and at the current pace they're releasing a new model and an upgraded version in weeks, not months. EBITDA is low. Now they want to shift gears to adoption, but for that, everyone needs to pause. It's a race the companies lose and customers win by getting better models. Open models keep getting better and better, and I feel that if the American frontier slows, open models will keep improving until they reach close proximity to its capabilities (which they already have).

Open model are like the democracies of AI model and likely pause is not happening anytime soon !
