The author then shares a link to a paper titled "Situational Awareness" by Leopold Aschenbrenner, an ex-OpenAI employee, who discusses the potential successes and problems that AI progress may cause. The author concludes by sharing two random facts: the progress in solving Riemann’s Hypothesis, a 165-year-old unsolved math puzzle, and the creation of a mail stamp celebrating the birth of Claude Shannon, a key figure in the foundation of artificial intelligence.
Key takeaways:
- The author initially had a negative view of neural networks in data science, believing the human brain's complexity could never be approximated by a computer.
- The author's perspective changed after interacting with AI Dungeon, a text game based on GPT-2, which provided an uncanny and immersive experience.
- The author recommends a paper named 'Situational Awareness' by Leopold Aschenbrenner, an ex OpenAI employee, which discusses the potential successes and problems AI progress may cause in the future.
- The author shares two random facts: the progress on Riemann’s Hypothesis by two mathematicians and a mail stamp celebrating the birth of Claude Shannon, a key figure in the foundation of artificial intelligence, proposed by a designer from the author's country of origin.
