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.

ah yeah, 10 employees and “worth” $5 billion, utterly normal bubble shit
but don’t sweat it, the $1 billion they raised is going straight to doing shit that doesn’t fucking work but does fuck up the environment, trying to squeeze more marginal performance gains out of systems that plateaued when they sucked up all the data on the internet (and throwing money at these things not working isn’t even surprising, given a tiny amount of CS knowledge)
I don't get it. If scaling is all you need, what does a "cracked team" of 5 mean in the end? Nothing?
What's, the different between super intelligence being scaling, and super intelligence, being whatever happens? Can someone explain to me the difference between what is and what SUPER is? When someone gives me the definition of super intelligence as "the power to make anything happen," I always beg, again, "and how is that different precisely from not, that?"
The whole project is tautological.
I'm just amused that their scaling program doesn't scale properly. Due to the hungry hungry AI needing more and more data.
Superintelligence is an AI meaningfully beyond human capability.
It pretty obviously can't be achieved by brute forcing something already way past diminishing returns, though.
just a few billion more bro
I'm actually, not convinced that AI meaningfully beyond human capability actually makes any sense, either. The most likely thing is that after stopping the imitation game, an AI developed further would just.. have different goals than us. Heck, it might not even look intelligent at all to half of human observers.
For instance, does the Sun count as a super intelligence? It has far more capability than any human, or humanity as a whole, on the current time scale.
No, but the moon does.
Capability is such a vague word, and intelligence isn't all that much better defined.
