Ilya Sutskever
Designer/Chief Science Officer and Co-founder of OpenAI.com
Interview by Stanford eCorner, “Inside OpenAI [Entire Talk]”
April 9, 2023My rough notes with some time stamps are below the 50 minute long video. (I’d say skip the last 10 minutes.)
~8 mins Ilya’s explaining how ChatGPT was trained on data…[Read more]

At any rate, my point is that there’s much more logic to remaining skeptical than to being pollyannical (which may be a neologism, but I think its meaning is obvious).
Yeah, I pretty much already knew those points. I won’t reiterate mine, while I’m hoping someone will find them interesting enough to delve into. Like really, i…[Read more]

Doctors should be a resource for parental decision making, not parent substitutes.
You keep repeating the notion of ‘parent substitutes’ as if that’s what’s happening, but it isn’t.
Which is why we have parents to (do?) surgeries on their kids too, right? Because caring the way a parent does is the qualification for providing…

@PB
I’m sure technological advances will continue coming and that some of those in the future would look like magic to people of today, though history has shown that the advances we think will show up seldom do so, or when they do turn up, we’re often underwhelmed. The things we didn’t anticipate at all turn out to be Earth-shattering. Things…[Read more]

What are parents good for? Lots of things, but being doctor substitutes tends not to be one of them.

In the future, some people will no longer age and live lives so long we can hardly image.
Who will they be? I think you know. (The uber-wealthy.) But they won’t be with us…
Of course, uber-wealthy tech entrepreneurs aren’t just buying rockets for their personal amusement. They’re founding or investing in space travel – they want to get you o…[Read more]

See why I’m a skeptic?
A thousand years is a drop in the bucket, e.g. wrt the time frame of human evolution. Recent science and tech is updating so quickly, perhaps even at an exponential pace; is it even possible to imagine how far it could go in only the next hundred years? Not to mention AI, and possibly self-replicating AI m…[Read more]

If it is demonstrated that the pop/boost to health and longevity is not a false start then the wealthy will want their own deluxe underwater pods. Come out with a pod bod while watching cod. Ok on that shitty rhyme time my slime aine worth a dime.
