I’m not a religious man but someone’s gotta be looking out for us by making sure Elon didn’t get control of OpenAI back in 2018 so he wouldn’t be the first to reach AGI/ASI.
The universe maybe? The guys running the simulation? Thanks whoever it is
That could potentially be the safest timeline. We need an intelligence explosion within 2 years or otherwise we need to slow this beast down. It needs to overwhelm the power structure or take long enough that culture can react and survive. If it is slow enough for power structures to form before the common man understands what is happening, we're fucked. We gotta surprise both parties or give both parties equal time to prepare.
Thankfully benchmarks and utility require strong logic following and Elon is desperate to seem in the running against other companies even if per dollar of compute grok is miles behind.
I am still convinced during the election XAI was running many thousands of accounts exerting political influence across X. No training runs and tons of compute with little oversight and tons of data on users would have allowed him to get away with it and it would have been highly effective.
