Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark dished out a dose of premium futuristic copium during a lecture at Oxford.
Timelines from folks valued at $900 billion:
1️⃣ 12 months — until a Nobel-level scientific discovery made with AI.
2️⃣ 18 months — until million-dollar companies with no employees except neural networks appear.
3️⃣ 24 months — bipedal robots take construction jobs.
4️⃣ By end of 2028 — AI designs the next generations of AI itself.
And, as per genre classics: there is a "non-zero probability" that all this will kill us, but we can't stop because of competitors and geopolitics 🤡
The scheme is as old as the world: they literally say: "Our new model Mythos is so frighteningly good at finding vulnerabilities that we ourselves are afraid of it! Urgently regulate the industry so that the open-source community and startups cannot train models without government licenses and compliance departments." Trading existential fear is the perfect tool for building a monopoly moat around one's business.
In the same news, Edward Harcourt, director of the Oxford Institute for Ethics in AI, voiced another threat — cognitive atrophy from using AI. And we have seen evidence of this in studies. Wouldn't it be ironic if you're afraid of robots, but it's actually your own mind that's slipping 😀
