Elon Musk takes Yudkowsky's theory seriously that the first AGI to
achieve human level intelligence will launch a singularity. OpenAI
founders believe that too, which is why they are racing to be first.
Musk worries that their secrecy risks getting the design wrong,
producing an unfriendly singularity. Meanwhile, Microsoft is late to
the game like they have been with every technological advance since
Apple introduced the GUI, and now they have to buy their way in again.
Nobody at Microsoft believes in singularities.
To be honest, I don't either.
The singularity is nonsense, but the concept isn't required. Machine
superintelligence is likely to
result in fast progress in some areas, power imbalances and big changes.
IOW, it is an
important development, and no doubt most of the participants basically
understand this.
