Hi All, just read/ watched a few videos on the recently published ai 2027 research piece.
Those who’ve read it would probably agree it’s quite alarming but is also written, as declared by the authors to be dramatised.
As I am quite new to AI and curious to know more. Is it likely we’ll see AGI any time soon? I can’t help but feel like given how AI company stock prices are insane at the moment that perhaps these companies want the gravy train to keep flowing and speculate about how close they are to bump their stock prices when behind closed doors they could be years away from a significant breakthrough.
My reason for thinking this is that whilst the current LLM’s we have available are good, I’m sure most would agree they’re along way from perfect.
Not to mention that it seems like a lot of these companies don’t seem to be upfront about safety concerns (I could well be wrong about this). Currently I feel this technology seems like we’re developing nuclear bombs for the first time in that the science behind it is being focused on so much that the ethical concerns haven’t had a chance to catch up.
