OpenAI CEO Sam Altman pushed to explain recent changes to safety efforts.

Wow, who would have thought?
It seems the AI hype is shrinking (or at least slowing down), since people are more and more critical of it: intellectual property, workers rights, power consumption, climate impacts, usefulness and more.
If you want more reading, I recommend these:
I can’t recommend Ed Zitron’s blog enough: Where’s your Ed at
He did an interview with Adam Conover a month ago, which was also really interesting.
The other blog I highly recommend is The Luddite, e.g. Why is there an AI hype?

To be honest, I hope you are right. I was never a fan of it, and seeing people get on the hype train made it feel even more like something that needs more time to cook

It was clear pretty fast that there were fundamental limits to the technology that many were very happy to ignore. They're trying to brute force it instead but ran out of force.
Reminds me of how deep learning also has fundamental issues but Musk is saying every year that next year full self driving using that tech will be done.

Hating on it seems like the same hype train.
-
I can also recommend Ed Zitron's blog, it's good stuff, very in-depth and lots of alternative sources.
-
The criticism is so automatic now that most of it is just bandwagon doomsaying hot air. So thanks for linking to some more interesting sources.

You’re welcome!

This is not news, look at his grifter history

It may be not news for you (or for me), but it could be news for the average American geezer, :)

He is nothing but a narcissistic asshole.

I accused him of that years ago when he ripped apart their ethics team and showed his true colors. And between then and now he made every effort to solidify his shady image every step of the way.

Sam Altman accused of being shady.
That's all you really need to say.

Nothing shady, just no safety efforts except hollow words.

IMO Those LLM have nothing to offer. ChatGPT try to reproduce human intelligence and human creativity, but I would like an AI designed to increase human intelligence and creativity. This was already the opinion of Warren Brodey And Ilyenkov in the 70s.

nothing
I disagree with that, I've found it useful for programming, travel, and fleshing out creative ideas. I would say it's limited and isn't a real replacement for a proper expert, but as an always available service there's certainly value.
