Geez the reporting around this has been ridiculously sensationalist

You mean OpenAI didn't just create a superintelligent artificial brain that will surpass all human ability and knowledge and make our species obsolete?
You laugh now, but just you wait. If it turns out they've created a hyperintelligent waifu/husbando, this will inevitably lead to plummeting birth rates and the end of human civilisation.

just bs. They are trying to come up with an explanation for why altman was fired that is not: we caught him doing lots of illegal stuff.
I think it's a hype move at this point. Like the guy who claimed he believed google's chat bot was sentient.
I read another article that stated they had a computational breakthrough, in which their program can now carry out basic grade school math. No other model is able to actually carry out math equations, not even basic arithmetic.
This is a significant development, but it's not like they're on the cusp of developing superintelligence now. I bet they are taking this small inch towards superintelligence, and hyping it like they've just huddled miles forward.
The thing is, this could actually be a several miles jump. But where they want to go is not the grocery down the road. They are trying to fly to another galaxy. This is more like hyping up that you are going to land on the moon next year, at a time when you just figured out that rubbing two sticks together it makes a fire. Technically it's truly a leap, but we are so far away still.
Technically it's truly a leap, but we are so far away still.
I completely agree and was trying to convey that. Not trying to downplay the significance of the development, but they are far from superintelligence and they're going to hype it up as much as they can.

Connecting superintelligence to the board's recent actions, which Sutskever initially supported, might be a stretch.
Why do you do that in your headline then?
Clickbait.
So was it all just a marketing stunt?
CEO ousting shenanigans = 📉
Release rumor = 📈
They're not publicly traded, but I assume public sentiment still has an effect on things (ex. Partnerships, users buying memberships, etc.)
But can it open the pod bay doors?
Take your upvote and go watch more artsy 60's scifi, you brilliant sod.

Hope it replaces the most expensive job position: CEO
What are these con artists up to? And why are so many people self replicating the propaganda?

The "superintelligence" in question: the same old tech, but with a larger context window, which will make it hallucinate a bit less often.

Alright, so the article really doesn't prove anything, just says OpenAI claims something and then fills it with words.
Let's be clear here; we don't even have an AGI. That is to say, artificial general intelligence, a man-made intelligence that is at least as capable and general purpose as Human intelligence.
That would be a intelligence that is self aware and can actually think and understand. Data from Star Trek would be an AGI.
THESE motherfuckers are now claiming they made a breakthrough on potentially creating an SI, a super intelligence. An artificial, man-made intelligence that not only has the self awareness and understanding of an AGI, but is vastly more intelligent than a Human, and likely has awareness that surpasses Human awareness.
I think not.
Why do I keep looking at these threads? The way people talk about this stuff on all sides is so asinine. Nearly every good point is accompanied by missing a big one or just ricocheting off the good one, flying off into space and hitting a fully automated luxury gay space commulist. Hopes, dreams, assumptions, and ignorance all just headbutting each other and getting nowhere.
Oh yeah, I wanted to know what "superintelligence" was and whether I should care. Welp.

Yawn.
Let me know when we get a real Terminator or Matrix or Space Odyssey situation.

Almost sounds like the whole thing was a performance.
The whole organization structure & how it functions is just not so smart after all. Have management team considered the Lean Methodology with their business objectives?
