A liar, scam artist, and scumbag.
lmao, what a tool
Hahaha
and I thought the service was in good hands in his time... in the meantime he is a garbage person just as much as the average tech leader today
Didn't Google and Nvidia just throw everything they had into a concerted AGI effort and fail?! 🤣
Is Google in the cloning business? Because I could swear that's Zack Freedman from the Youtube 3D printing channel. He even wears the heads-up display (Youtube Link). Sorry for being off-Topic but who cares about what tech CEOs say about AGI anyway?
Dude who's done nothing of importance since bouncing off google throwing words like that 😄
...and the horse he road in on.
What is the point, though?
If you made AGI, you'd have a computer that thinks like a person. Okay? We already have minds that think like a person: they're called people!
I get that there is some belief that if you can make a digital consciousness, you can make a digital super-conciousness, but genuinely stop and ask what the utility is, and it's equal parts useless and evil.
First, this premise is totally unexamined. Maybe it can think faster or hold more information in mind at one moment, but what basis is there for such a creation actually exceeding the ingenuity of a group of humans working together? What problem is this going to solve? A "cure for cancer"? The bottleneck to cutting cancer isn't ideas, it's that cell research takes actual time and money. You need it synthesize molecules and watch cells grow, and pay for lab infrastructure. "Intelligence" isn't the limiting element!
The primary purpose is just to crater the value of human labor, by replacing human workers with workers with godlike powers of reasoning. Good luck with that. I'm sure they won't come to the exact reasoning as any exploited worker in 120 nano-seconds.
It's like Jason's problem-solving advice in "The Good Place":
“Any time I had a problem, and I threw a Molotov cocktail… Boom, right away, I had a different problem.”
Sure. Let's work ourselves to death forTHIS.

Sounds like we don't need it then.
I guess we don't need it then.
Specifically, the women who report to him that he's attracted to need to spend 60 hours a week dating him.
Thanks for the input, Big Head.
