My pet theory about why Anthropic and Open AI are pushing for a “pause” is because they are trying to angle for a government bailout before their bubbles pop.

If there's an assertion that a super intelligence is about to emerge, the evidence for that assertion just isn't available to the public.

Like you say, if someone was developing a time machine, and the only evidence of their progress was their ability to transmit a message to the future via email, you would conclude that time travel does not exist.

Bold claims require testable evidence and presently there isn't any.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
