That "pause AI development" letter? I already boosted @emilymbender's take on it earlier, and I think she's pretty correct in her analysis. https://dair-community.social/@emilymbender/110104540950908338
But also: it's charade. "Please everyone else, stop at the point we already reached to let us figure out how to maximally use this to our advantage."
Meanwhile... #LLM is not #AGI, it's just another memorization machine learning model. And it's being reproduced and improved upon by many teams.

Okay, so that AI letter signed by lots of AI researchers calling for a "Pause [on] Giant AI Experiments"? It's just dripping with AI hype. Here's a quick rundown. First, for context, note that URL? The Future of Life Institute is a longtermist operation. You know, the people who are focused on maximizing the happiness of billions of future beings who live in computer simulations. https://futureoflife.org/open-letter/pause-giant-ai-experiments/ #AIhype >>
