Microsoft prepared to walk away from high-stakes OpenAI talks

  The nature of these discussions and the fact that MS described AGI as “an LLM service that reaches $100 B per year in revenue” is evidence that much of marketing around “AI” is basically fraudulent.

  Clearly LLMs specifically and ML models in general have many powerful use cases, but that doesn’t mean the people involved aren’t running a scheme to profit off the hype.

    Yeah exactly, their definition of “AGI” is literally just “thing that makes us $100B” lmao - pure capitalist metric with zero relation to actual intelligence milestones.

    I disagree. Gen AI is the thing their pushing the hardest and also the least useful. Okay, it can write shitty social media posts and make my emails sound less grumbly. Cool. Let me know when agentic AI actually becomes usable. That’s where the legit money will be.

    I bet this rhetoric goes so hard, the moment we reach an economicly usefull agi it will be all hands on board to stop it from going ASI.

    They specifically want ai that can follow orders without thinking for themselves.

      LLMs cannot think or draw conclusions, it’s just guessing based on the content of old reddit posts.

      Something like in the video game Detroit: Become Human, where there are androids that are basically a humanized AGI, but when they start to gain consciousness and peacefully seek their rights, humans begin to behave like the Third Reich.

  The sooner we can foment OpenAI’s collapse, the better. It will cause the “AI” bubble to pop, and we can move on.
