Funny how AI has supposedly surpassed the greatest scientists, yet the greatest scientific discovery here is always announced by the guy selling subscriptions. If it really is that smart, perhaps it could explain to Sam the difference between a peer reviewed breakthrough and a product launch.

911, I'd like to report a murder.
High-fiving AI. i'm done with this fucking place.

Ya, Sam, call me when the AI knows what questions to ask that it came up with on its own rather than just scraping...
I’ll believe it when I hear it from the brightest human scientists, not the glorified salesman who would ironically be perfectly replaced by AI.

Since they just lost a lot of millions last week, they need a new grift
Sam Altman has been credibly accused of raping his sister.
...not going anywhere with this, just felt compelled to share.

So they just gonna fire all their AI engineers and replace them with AI now, right?

Ah, pulling an Elon, where you just say impressive sounding bullshit so people keep giving you money.
Can we just please ignore Sam Altman and his petty little company, you guys are making free ads for him and whatever company his lead
I'll grant that AI is smarter than Sam Altman, that's for sure.
Since he thinks he's so smart... yeah
"Please investor bros. Give us more of your investment money bros. It looks like it's in the process of collapsing but it's just about to pay off bros."
Sam Altman telling everyone to come on board of a sinking ship while trying to bail out the water with a thimble.
He’s said this every year for 3 years straight.
“Like a phd in your pocket” followed by completely wrong graphs in the presentation and website.
fuck spez
fuck sam altman
How would one even measure this quantitatively?
Empty words from a man who doesn't even seem to understand his own product.
If AI is so smart then maybe companies can cut costs by replacing their CEOs with AI. I disagree with people being replaced by AI, but it would be pretty funny if OpenAI's board of directors took Sam Altman's bragging seriously and fired him.
Lol weird. I was asking ai the other night for a unique cyberpunk build patch 2.5 and it keep telling me to take multiple perks far before they're even reachable at level 4
There sure is a lot of "CEO said a thing" bollocks being dutifully reported by the media about this clown right now. His verbal effluent is probably overtaking the verbal effluent of the clown in the White House right now, which surely breaks a world record.
Anyone could be forgiven for thinking he's got a huge PR campaign running in the lead up to something and people are falling for it. Again.
Get your Miracle Elixir right here cures baldness, cancer, trouble with the dames if you know what I mean….
Wake me up when their AI can propose and conduct novel scientific experiments.
Maths is an “easy” target for AI because it’s self contained. It’s easier to brute force training data in mathematics when there’s no external forces.
Can’t have that cheat code in science, unless they let their models study the behavior of real ant colonies as part of their reinforcement learning process.
Anti-intellectuals out themselves. Altman is one.
Science isn't about the answer. Its about the process. Anti-intellectuals vehemently argue until they are blue in the face that the end result is all that matters.
Anti-intellectuals think science is like in the movies: write gibberish on a chalkboard and time travel is suddenly invented. “Who needs experiments? My equation is correct!”
Too bad that movie is The Fly.
Can’t have that cheat code in science, unless they let their models study the behavior of real ant colonies as part of their reinforcement learning process.
You know, that's actually one of the very few types of use case where I'd be ok with the massive resource consumption of AI data centers. Just feed enormous volumes of raw sensor data into model training and see if it comes up with patterns and connections that we didn't notice.
We do use AI to do it. A lot, actually. And the AI hardware boom has been amazing to all sorts of large dataset studies.
But once we find a pattern, we have to find why the pattern exists.
If the ai were so smart it'd tell Sam to shut the fuck up
You did none of it Sam, just fuck off please
AI is brighter on the infrared spectrum
I drink three bottles of wine a night as well and think I'm the greatest.
After allegedly reaching AGI for the first time on 6 different occasions nonetheless!
People keep telling me how much smarter the new models are, but they seem about the same as three years ago to me.
It has faster access to vast quantities of information, but that doesn't mean its smarter.
Let me look that up for you…. 🖕
Ok spell 17.
