Sam Altman: AI agents will totally replace your employees any year now! Also, ChatGPT Pro is losing money

Did they, though? I mean, it beats workin’.

Literally...the...definition. Did you think it meant something other than that? Because it's quite literally in the word.
Most of the sites today were survivors of the era of easy venture capital, and they weren't any different than the other dotcoms. The whole point was the widespread adoption of the internet, thus...dotcom; because they all started up .com web addresses.
Google, Amazon, Ndivia, Ebay still dotcoms. Just survivors.
We still have remnants of their behavior too - with things like Uber and Lyft.
I'd suggest learning more things before sharing your thoughts.
More or less the same guys in the background.
just give them a few thousand days, any thousand days now
And we are going to have 3d tvs! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVnWmN7aKTY
Wonder if his pivot to politics is because that is a better fit for his seemingly low attention span and high need for novelty/excitement or if it is because he is starting to realize that he can't keep promising this forever. (both of course).
They have been wanting to fire those workers for the past 4 years, but now they can do it in a way that won't spoke shareholders.
Geniuses i tells ya. We’ll save millyuns! Minus the bonuses tho right: ha haaaaa!
We'll destroy the environment and ruin the economy, but for 1 month you'll have amazing profits while you don't have to pay wages!
What if we just fire all the employees except the CEO? Just hear me out.
No expenses. In fact sell the office buildings too.
Nah j/k the profits aren’t great.
How’s it going? The Wall Street Journal looked at five “agents” that are totally in real production use, guys. Three of the “agents” generate plans under close human supervision. Two of the “agents” are chatbots — showing how the real future of agents is simply to rebrand existing systems as “agents.” Or they’ll be “AGI” — A Guy Instead. [WSJ]
Seriously. Everyone putting money on this is a total schmuck.
The end-game for AI (and Crypto, increasingly) is to incorporate into federal systems and financial systems in such a way that they can't be removed without gutting departments or upsetting major donors.
These are entirely parasitic organizations. They only exist to deplete the assets of the organizations they latch onto.
Or they’ll be “AGI” — A Guy Instead.
Lol. This is perfect. Can we please adopt this everywhere.
As for the OpenAI statement... it's interesting how it starts with "We are now confident [...]" to make people think "ooh now comes the real stuff"... but then it quickly makes a sharp turn towards weasel words: "We believe that [...] we may see [...]" . I guess the idea is that the confidence from the first part is supposed to carry over to the second, while retaining a way to later say "look, we didn't promise anything for 2025". But then again, maybe I'm ascribing too much thoughtfulness here, when actually they just throw out random bullshit, just like their "AI".
OpenAI and Microsoft recently redefined “artificial general intelligence” as OpenAI making $100 billion profit.
Defining intelligence this way means that virtually no human who has ever lived qualifies as intelligent, either. That's one way for machine intelligence to reach parity with human intelligence, I suppose.
Then again, Sam Altman has lit enough of Microsoft's money on fire that he especially doesn't count as intelligent according to this definition. So maybe it has some merit after all.
AI is only losing money because its too good at its job. If you invest another $1T, you can get in on the ground floor of the most transformative grift of the national security state since the dosing rod.
He's at least an order of magnitude bigger than Holmes. She only squandered billions and injured thousands. Altman's looking to squander trillions and (if his endless thirst for water and electricity is continuously sated) kill millions.
In other news, artificial general intelligence announces joint venture with fusion power called Ten Years Away.

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
