Sam Altman: AI agents will totally replace your employees any year now! Also, ChatGPT Pro is losing money
OpenAI is a blast furnace fueled by investor cash. But Sam is totally going to replace all your employees this time, honest — with agents: [OpenAI] We are now confident we know how to build AGI as …
We will have a manned mission to mars within two years! Full self driving this year! This will bank the unbanked! Wait, sorry different guys. ;)
It's like everyone learned the wrong lessons about the dotcom bubble

Wonder if his pivot to politics is because that is a better fit for his seemingly low attention span and high need for novelty/excitement or if it is because he is starting to realize that he can't keep promising this forever. (both of course).
More or less the same guys in the background.
just give them a few thousand days, any thousand days now
Well it worked, and in fact still does for Phony Stark.
And we are going to have 3d tvs! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVnWmN7aKTY
Ironically so far it looks like it is capable to replace execs.
This isn’t stopping execs from laying workers off in droves and mandating AI replacements.
They have been wanting to fire those workers for the past 4 years, but now they can do it in a way that won't spoke shareholders.
Geniuses i tells ya. We’ll save millyuns! Minus the bonuses tho right: ha haaaaa!
It's easier and cheaper to just use parrots to replace execs.
Replacing execs is the easiest thing to do, since all it takes is someone who is more than willing to fuck up the workers in the name of profit, no actual skills required.
We'll destroy the environment and ruin the economy, but for 1 month you'll have amazing profits while you don't have to pay wages!
AI is only losing money because its too good at its job. If you invest another $1T, you can get in on the ground floor of the most transformative grift of the national security state since the dosing rod.
OpenAI and Microsoft recently redefined “artificial general intelligence” as OpenAI making $100 billion profit.
Defining intelligence this way means that virtually no human who has ever lived qualifies as intelligent, either. That's one way for machine intelligence to reach parity with human intelligence, I suppose.
Then again, Sam Altman has lit enough of Microsoft's money on fire that he especially doesn't count as intelligent according to this definition. So maybe it has some merit after all.
In other news, artificial general intelligence announces joint venture with fusion power called Ten Years Away.
How’s it going? The Wall Street Journal looked at five “agents” that are totally in real production use, guys. Three of the “agents” generate plans under close human supervision. Two of the “agents” are chatbots — showing how the real future of agents is simply to rebrand existing systems as “agents.” Or they’ll be “AGI” — A Guy Instead. [WSJ]
Seriously. Everyone putting money on this is a total schmuck.
I'm afraid they're putting so much money into it, that it becomes too big to fail. The behemoths will push onwards, but the smallest investors will lose.
The end-game for AI (and Crypto, increasingly) is to incorporate into federal systems and financial systems in such a way that they can't be removed without gutting departments or upsetting major donors.
These are entirely parasitic organizations. They only exist to deplete the assets of the organizations they latch onto.
Sam Altman == Elizabeth Holmes
He's at least an order of magnitude bigger than Holmes. She only squandered billions and injured thousands. Altman's looking to squander trillions and (if his endless thirst for water and electricity is continuously sated) kill millions.
that's just inflation, the schema is the same, before them there were Adam Neumann, Travis Kalanick, they exploit people and environment for their own ego.
Wait you're saying I can't replace multiple waged employees for $200 per month? No one could have predicted this
Or they’ll be “AGI” — A Guy Instead.
Lol. This is perfect. Can we please adopt this everywhere.
As for the OpenAI statement... it's interesting how it starts with "We are now confident [...]" to make people think "ooh now comes the real stuff"... but then it quickly makes a sharp turn towards weasel words: "We believe that [...] we may see [...]" . I guess the idea is that the confidence from the first part is supposed to carry over to the second, while retaining a way to later say "look, we didn't promise anything for 2025". But then again, maybe I'm ascribing too much thoughtfulness here, when actually they just throw out random bullshit, just like their "AI".
the important point is for Sam not to make any statement that wouldn't qualify as forward-looking statements. This helps dodge the SEC busting them for lying to investors, like Theranos and FTX.
Sam better have a savings account exclusively to pay for lawyers once Microsoft realizes buying 49% of OpenAI was a mistake.
Or not, it'd be hella fun seeing him get fucked in court
