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.

I am jealous. I wish I had so much confidence in my speech that investors gave me billions on the promise of literally nothing

What exactly qualifies as 'super intelligence' and what could it conceivably do that differentiates it from current AI? Sounds like another big ol' bucket of bullshit to me.

Just a couple more GPUs bro, I’m sure it’s around the corner

Oh, that’s easy. It just needs to be worth more than 100 billion dollars, which is the value threshold for regular artificial general intelligence.

MIRI outputs stealth science in the same way that United Aircraft Company makes Su-75. it can be only detected by careful analysis of their spending

And like the Su-75, it's thoroughly unfit for purpose and exists to hype up the industry rather than actually serve a valuable role.
