Throw these AI cons under the fucking jail already. Digital snake oil sales in 2025 being fully endorsed by governments is a curse.

We need to start discussing how robots will replace the worker and destroy our livelihood

Brøther, may I have the funds for the AGI?

Allegations of Sexual Abuse Against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman

Sam Altman, a prominent figure in the artificial intelligence field, has been accused of sexually abusing his sister during their childhood in Clayton, Missouri. The allegations came to light through a lawsuit filed on Jan. 6 by the Mahoney Law Firm in Glen Carbon, Illinois.

In the lawsuit, it is claimed that the abuse occurred between 1997 and 2006, starting when Altman was 12 years old and his sister, Ann, was only 3 years old. The abuse allegedly continued until Ann was 11 years old and Altman was an adult.

Thats why all the billionairs love him. He is a child rapist too!

[-] cristo@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

Can someone explain to me what AGI means in this context? I thought it was something that Joe Rogan keeps peddling to my parents.

[-] jaennaet@sopuli.xyz 12 points 6 hours ago

To give you an actual answer, it means "artificial general intelligence"

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 5 hours ago

Ironic since Joe Rogan isn't an example of General Intelligence, he's a very narrow intelligence. Limited only to stiring up trouble. But he couldn't think his way out of an unlocked room.

[-] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

It's a sci-fi term. Up there with "robots will become sentient and take over the world." It means the first half, in fact.

[-] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 hours ago

Maybe instead of giving in to your prejudices, (like you think only your parents do), why ... don't you look it up?

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 7 points 5 hours ago

prejudices

That word doesn't mean, what you think it means.

[-] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

It means you are exactly like the people you purport to hate.

[-] cristo@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago

What prejudices do you think I have, I just want to know what AGI stands for and what it means with AI and I want someone who isn't Wikipedia to explain it to me? Is that so much to ask?

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

HAVE NONE OF THESE ASSHOLES SEEN TERMINATOR

Why are we suddenly in such a rush to invent Skynet?

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

They all just love themselves some torment nexus

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 2 points 6 hours ago

As with all fictional horror ... humans somehow manage to surpass it irl ... so at some point we would welcome Skynet.

The real problem is if Skynet never manages to get fully independent from it's human controllers.
Still the same war happens, just that the few humans in charge direct it.

[-] ALLHAILHYPNOTOAD@lemmy.ml 21 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

It’s all hype cycle bullshit. The Tech bubble was bursting so they hyped AI well past it’s true capacity. Investors threw money at it to hype it so others would buy in. The stock market is all hype. It just hypes anything it can to keep the growth artificially going. AI has real uses, but that wasn’t sexy enough for Wall Street. That wasn’t going to make the endless growth lie sustain. Then the bubble pops and the billionaires swoop in and steal more from everyone else.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 10 points 9 hours ago

crypto was the previous shiny new toy until it dint work, now AI will go through the same fate.

[-] prosecute_traitors@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Everybody knows market cap is directly proportional to real world value and usefulness.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 5 hours ago

There is always someone who reckons they can get something from nothing. Also long as they exist the bubbles will continue

[-] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 4 points 9 hours ago

I'm so glad my 401k is going to vaporize because it's mostly tech companies.

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

As an ignorant non-American who doesn't know how 401k works, could you not redirect where your investment/retirement goes?

[-] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 5 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Only slightly, unfortunately it's not as flexible as a normal investment account. I've done a good bit of trying to lessen the damage though. Basically, with my specific account, I can pick from around 7 or 8 different funds, many of which include huge tech companies.

Unfortunately, even if I invest only in one, it's likely going to get affected by the bubble popping since everything is ultimately on the same market as the slop peddling companies.

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

That sucks. I work for an American company and I have to have mandatory pension contribution. I only put in 3% of my salary to it and stated I want them invested into medium risk funds.

I don't trust company pensions to be my sole source of retirement funds, and so I started my own investment portfolio. Even though I know US companies are more profitable, but with the way things are going, I limited my investments to select few US companies and I plan to invest more on Asian and European stocks.

[-] RedStrider@lemmy.world 18 points 12 hours ago

99% of ai companies go under before they win agi!

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 5 hours ago

If we ever get AGI 100% of companys will go under.

artifice (noun) - clever or cunning devices or expedients, especially as used to trick or deceive others.

[-] rem26_art@fedia.io 100 points 22 hours ago

OpenAI has this warning about halfway down on one page of their website that says that money may not even matter in a post AGI world. So that means we should just give all our money to them now, bro!

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 28 points 19 hours ago

I know some whine that the money could be used to literally solve world hunger forever. Or to help needy people, or sick kids, or to fund tangible scientific progress... But they're not thinking about the fact that instead, we're going to have the absolute best hallucinations from the richest companies!

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 30 points 20 hours ago

They don't even know what they're doing or why they're doing it.

We know, right now, without AI, that we have enough resources in the world to feed, house, and educate everyone. The only reason that doesn't get done is an inscrutible system of beurocracy and propaganda.

So what happens when something they would laud as an "AGI" says "hey, to solve your economic issues you have to recognize that we have the ability to create so much food it's no longer profitable"?

Well the truth is that they would most likely hide it.

[-] metoosalem@feddit.org 37 points 23 hours ago

Just a trillion dollars more in data centers and we’ll get there bro. We’re gonna have billions of users bro I promise.

Congressperson: “Okay, so, let me get this straight. Your company has spent over 20 billion dollars in pursuit of a fully autonomous digital intelligence, and so far, your peak accuracy rate for basic addition and subtraction is... what was it, again?”

Sam Altman: leans into microphone “About 60%, sir.”

[Congress erupts in a sea of ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’, as Sam Altman is carried away on top of the cheering crowd of Congresspeople wearing a crown of roses and a sash reading, “BEST INVESTMENT”]

[-] chaos@beehaw.org 6 points 18 hours ago

It's making mistakes and failing to think abstractly at levels previously only achieved by humans, so it's only rational to expect it to take over the world in 5 years

GPT-6Σχ is so powerful that it created the even more powerful GPT-Ωלֶ in only 19 attoseconds. Humanity is doomed. Invest before too late.

[-] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 16 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

You dropped a few of these -> "0"

Sam Altman has been talking about planning to spend trillions on just the data centers, let alone everything else that goes into creating their slop machines.

[-] PumpkinSkink@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I suspect the data centers in question here are the "Stargate" project, a "joint venture" between Open AI and softbank where the liquidity for Open AI's part of the investment appears to be money from Softbank that Softbank doesn't have on hand and only intends to give OpenAI if they convert to a for profit entity by the end of the year.

oh and they intend to let a crypto company who has never built a data center build it.

I wouldn't hold my breath on those data centers being built.

[-] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

As far as I'm aware that was "only" 500 Billion with a 'B' in project Stargate, not the Trillions with a 'T' that Altman was talking about.

I do think it's all a shell game and a fragile house of cards of tech brohaha. Really hoping the "We're in a bubble" comment from him is the start of that house crumbling

[-] Justas@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

Meanwhile, estimated cost of reaching global zero carbon emissions is just 17 trillion dollars.

[-] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

Not even 25% of the GDP of the top ten nations. Seems like a much more worthy spend imo. Like all these billionaires want a dick measuring contest, let's see who can come up with the coolest carbon neutral tech, let's see which billionaire can fund the biggest national park or something.

My wife and I dream about building a zero carbon home. Solar roof, mass timber, carbon neutral cement, more environmental based temp systems like an actual thought about air flow. That or starting a commune in Scotland when the world collapses.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

try to hype up a dying industry which was a scam to begin with, to get MORE VC funds to stave off the billions they are going to lose in the future. they thought CRYPTO was the next big then, when that dint work it was AI.

[-] demizerone@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

Reignite three mile island reactors bro trust me bro

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

What are we going to call actual AI when AGI starts being bastardized by marketing the way "AI" was before it?

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 19 hours ago

AGI. Fuck marketing.

[-] Ryktes@lemmy.world 9 points 23 hours ago

Gonna need at least three more zeros on the end of that number, boss. AGI is nowhere near viable with the tech we have now.
