On Friday, Mr. Altman was abruptly dismissed as OpenAI’s chief executive. Details for his surprise departure are still emerging but a dispute with a fellow founder of OpenAI appears to have played a role. Mr. Sutskever also objected to what he perceived as his own diminished role inside the company. “It doesn’t seem at all implausible that we will have computers — data centers — that are much smarter than people,” Mr. Sutskever said recently on a podcast. I don’t know.”Two other OpenAI board members, Tasha McCauley and Helen Toner, have ties to the Rationalist and Effective Altruist movements, who have been concerned that A.I.

But, "you do at some point need to start having contact with reality," he told Insider. The plan was still only a rough sketch, Blania told Insider, but that didn't seem to matter to his host. "He always wanted to understand everything at a very deep level," Thrun told Insider in an email. (When asked about guns, Altman told Insider he'd been "happy to have one both times my home was broken into while I was there.") When asked about this, Altman told Insider in an email: "i can guess what that's about; these stories grow crazily inflated over the years of getting re-told!

☆ In San Francisco, some people wonder when A.I. will kill us all

If the super-powerful AI is aligned with humans, it could be the end of hunger or work. Or, as a sign at the Misalignment Museum says: "Sorry for killing most of humanity." Most of the works are around the theme of "alignment" with increasingly powerful artificial intelligence or celebrate the "heroes who tried to mitigate the problem by warning early." As AI technology becomes the hottest part of the tech industry, with companies eying trillion-dollar markets, the Misalignment Museum underscores that AI's development is being affected by cultural discussions. Even as companies and people in San Francisco are shaping the future of artificial intelligence technology, San Francisco’s unique culture is shaping the debate around the technology.

A înțeles rolul mitului în lumea noastră secularizată, ne-a avertizat însă împotriva ispitei de a construi noi religii politice. Atunci când nu puțini au renunțat să mai vorbească despre totalitarism—conceptul a fost „denunțat” drept înfeudat logicii Războiului Rece—, a scris texte excepționale pe acest subiect. Kołakowski a înțeles că minciuna totalitară este diferită de ceea ce el numea minciună convențională. Marxismul a eșuat la nivelul propriilor sale ambiții: s-a dorit filosofia eliberării universale și a creat o sclavie fără precedent. Kołakowski a practicat mai întâi o critică de la stânga a marxismului osificat al aparatelor ideologice oficiale.
