OpenAI CEO Sam Altman claims AI singularity has arrived



quote:

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman claims artificial intelligence has reached a long-sought threshold in which the technology can improve itself, unleashing rapid progress that may prove difficult to fully control.

The milestone, known as the singularity, promises significant benefits for society, Altman said, appearing to rebuke concern among critics about the societal threat posed by wide adoption of AI.

"We’re now, like, in the singularity," Altman said in an episode of a podcast called "Relentless," which came out on Saturday. “Now we’re actually in the moment that we used to talk about at the lunch table in a very not-serious way."

“I’ve been waiting for this my whole life, and I think it’s going to be incredible, hugely positive, awesome for the world," Altman added.









Elon thinks now that singularity is here, it will lead to a point of great prosperity where money won't even matter by 2036. So much so that he said yesterday he may pledge to give away his fortune by 2036.

I agree

It would be cool, though, if the trade and barter system made somewhat of a comeback. No welfare for the lazy with that system.

I love me some Elon, but I view this take as very “simple.”

He and his cohorts also predicted multiple times that total white collar automation was just 6 months out.

Why lie when AI can easily prove you wrong?

Elon Musk has not predicted that total white-collar automation is six months away; rather, he estimates that artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence in about five years (by 2031) and make traditional work optional in 10 to 20 years.

This.

The idea that these mega-wealthy and powerful individuals will simply give up their money and elevate everyone’s status is laughable.

Sounds about right that my goal retirement will coincide with money no longer being an issue.

Social Security is predicted to run out by 2032. Elon better speed his timeline up

I’m still waiting for the AI gloves to be off. I’m afraid all privacy laws will be by passed and you can simply ask AI about a persons post history, emails, text messages, etc. I know the government can find anything they want but imagine the public being able to look up anything anyone has done or said.

Donating to charity would just ensure it ends up in the hands of the most entitled lazy power obsessed controlling idiots in the world.

We should call it Pax 'Mericana

How is it that we have plenty of money for people who won't work but we're running out of money for people who worked all their lives?

Like the idea of the production of nearly everything becomes extraordinarily cheap. AI accelerates tech and makes energy cheap, incl renewables…everyone’s wealth increases, as a result.

Greed/envy for some to exploit in society will disrupt this naive utopia. Ownership concentration and political paths to distribution of wealth will live on.

Lots of wayward people if AI does all scientific research, engineering, medical diagnoses, legal analysis, business mgmt, and robots replacing physical labor.

Human purpose, envy/greed and the OT will be turned on its head for most but extra concentrated, I predict. Dystopia vs utopia? Fun times?

AI up to this point has only been used to replace human labor. Every convenience, every picture, every video generated, every code typed.

Meanwhile the ivory tower yells down to us that the singularity is reached! Rejoice! AI can now fully replace you!

The majority of us will likely reap very little benefit from this. Oh we'll get plenty of fun distractions to stop us from storming the castle, but soon even storming the castle won't be an option and at that time we will exist only as a burden to our technocratic deity's

I just read somewhere that his prediction about ad revenue for AI is 90% off. I wonder if that has anything to do with this. Got to keep the hype train running. Those data centers cost money. Don't want investors to jump off the hype train.

Here is what I heard.

The Revenue GapOpenAI's Target: Projected $2.5 billion in ad revenue for 2026, scaling to $100 billion annually by 2030.Market Reality: eMarketer estimates the entire U.S. chatbot advertising market across all major players (including ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Google) will generate under $1 billion in 2026 and cap out at just $5.41 billion by 2030.The Discrepancy: OpenAI's single-company projection for 2030 is roughly 20 times larger than the external market ceiling estimated for the entire chatbot advertising space.
