Another OpenAI researcher quits—claims AI labs are taking a ‘very risky gamble’ with humanity amid the race toward AGI

In the same way that if you start digging a hole in northwestern Spain you are heading towards New Zealand.

Would we know it if we saw it? Draw two eye spots on a wooden spoon amd people will anthromorphise it. I suspect we'll have dozens of false starts and breathless announcements of AGI, but we may never get there.

More interestingly, would we want it if we got it? How long will its creators rally to its side if we throw yottabytes of data at our civilization-scale problems and the mavhine comes back with "build trains and eat the rich instead of cows?"

I think about this. Boy to bad we don't have a general ai to run things given what we have gotten or maybe a nice interstellar race that got past the great filter can upload us and leave the planet to recover.
