alt Hacker NewsTo borrow on the 1990s Slashdot meme:
1. Invent transformer architecture.
2. Scale it up.
3. ???
4. Machines become sentient and kill us all.
OpenAI and Anthropic pinky promise that they have figured out #3 and they're not BSing just to get more funding, no.
But because we live in a culture of fear, everyone eats it up no questions asked.

Why are we putting so much weight (no pun intended) on AI companies. At the end of the day the scaled up LLM transformers lack emotion and will… They do as they are told; or more correctly put. They do as they are programmed to do so.

Note that OpenAI has jettisoned every other supposed value they had (releasing their work as open source, not working on military applications, being a nonprofit). I'm sure we can rely on them this time.
