Sam Altman, the head of OpenAI has written an article called "The Intelligence Age". Here are a few quotations from it:
*"In the next couple of decades, we will be able to do things that would have seemed like magic to our grandparents."* *"we will have **superintelligence** [**not just AGI **] in a few thousand * *days** !"* *"How did we get to the doorstep of the next leap in prosperity? In three words: deep learning worked. In 15 words: deep learning worked, got predictably better with scale, and we dedicated increasing resources to it."* *"humanity discovered an algorithm that could really, truly learn any distribution of data (or really, the underlying “rules” that produce any distribution of data). To a shocking degree of precision, the more compute and data available, the better it gets at helping people solve hard problems. I find that no matter how much time I spend thinking about this, I can never really internalize how consequential it is."* *The Intelligence Age* <https://ia.samaltman.com/> John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis> dua -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
