Superintelligence by Experience, Ethical Datasets, and Fine Dining by ChatGPT: The AI Argument EP62
Manage episode 490386536 series 3555798
David Silver says today’s AI won’t get us to superintelligence, not because it isn’t impressive, but because it’s learning the wrong way.
GPT-style models hoover up internet text and get polished by human preference, but they’re capped by our own limitations.Silver reckons the next leap will come from AIs that learn the hard way: by doing things, learning from experience, and getting better.
Justin’s all in. He thinks we can bin every current regulation and replace it with one golden rule: the model must respond to human feedback.
Frank’s far from convinced. He sees a future full of unpredictable agents, long-term planning gone off the rails, and tech companies tearing ahead without full control over what they’ve built. One rule? He’d prefer a few more safety checks before we unleash the bots with big ambitions.
So who’s right? Can feedback really keep AI in line, or are we kidding ourselves?
Also covered: Midjourney’s stunning new video output and the lawsuits it might not outrun, EleutherAI’s copyright-free dataset, the warped moral values shared by today’s biggest models, and whether ChatGPT should be anywhere near your dinner plans.
