Thanks for the write-up, that was very useful for my own calibration.
Fair warning: Colorful language ahead.
Why is it whenever Meta AI does a presentation, YC posts something, they release a paper, I go:
Jeez guys, that’s it? With all the money you have, and all the smart guys (including YC), this is really it?
What is going on? You come off as a bunch of people who have your heads so far up your own ass, sniffing rose smelling (supposedly but not really) farts, to realize that you come across as amateur’s with way too much money.
Its sloppy, half baked, not even remotely thought through, and the only reason you build and release anything is because of all the money you can throw at compute.
/End rant
And yeah I might be a bit annoyed at Meta AI and especially YC, but come on man, how much more can you derail public discourse, with those naive* takes on alignment and x-risk?
*Can I use “naivist” as a noun ? (like some people use doomer for people with a specific position).
