'Godfather of A.I.' leaves Google after a decade to warn society of technology he's touted

Geoffrey Hinton, known as the "godfather of AI," is leaving his role at Google and plans to warn about the risks of the technology he's promoted.

Geoffrey Hinton, known as “The Godfather of AI,” received his Ph.D. in artificial intelligence 45 years ago and has remained one of the most respected voices in the field.

For the past decade Hinton worked part-time at Google, between the company’s Silicon Valley headquarters and Toronto. But he has quit the internet giant, and he told The New York Times that he’ll be warning the world about the potential threat of AI, which he said is coming sooner than he previously thought.

“I thought it was 30 to 50 years or even longer away,” Hinton told the Times, in a story published Monday. “Obviously, I no longer think that.”

Hinton, who was named a 2018 Turing Award winner for conceptual and engineering breakthroughs, said he now has some regrets over his life’s work, the Times reported. He cited the near-term risks of AI taking jobs, and the proliferation of fake photos, videos and text that appear real to the average person.

In a statement to CNBC, Hinton said, “I now think the digital intelligences we are creating are very different from biological intelligences.”

Hinton referenced the power of GPT-4, the most-advanced large language model, or LLM, from startup OpenAI, whose technology has gone viral since the chatbot ChatGPT was launched late last year. Here’s how he described what’s happening now:

“If I have 1,000 digital agents who are all exact clones with identical weights, whenever one agent learns how to do something, all of them immediately know it because they share weights,” Hinton told CNBC. “Biological agents cannot do this. So collections of identical digital agents can acquire hugely more knowledge than any individual biological agent. That is why GPT-4 knows hugely more than any one person.”

company to integrate Bard’s technology and LLMs into more products and services. Last month, the company said it would be merging Brain with DeepMind to “significantly accelerate our progress in AI.”

According to the Times, Hinton said he quit his job at Google so he could freely speak out about the risks of AI. He told the paper, “I console myself with the normal excuse: If I hadn’t done it, somebody else would have.”

Hinton tweeted on Monday, “I left so that I could talk about the dangers of AI without considering how this impacts Google. Google has acted very responsibly.”

A few years ago people thought we were headed towards another AI winter. I was thinking that as well. But with gpt-3 it all changed. Or at least so it seems at the moment.

Programmer cucks have worked themselves to their own redundancy. The mass layoffs will probably begin in a few years to a decade depending on how fast AI accelerates, no fucking way corporation execs and kikes are going to miss out on the next era of automation. Cucks will keep deluding themselves with the idea that le government will suddenly pitch in and offer them universal NEETbuxx when all the tech jobs are gone.

Oh no. Internet whores will get deepfake nudes leaked and internet racists will use fake images as propaganda. How is he gonna cope?

@WorthlessSlavicShit @barcacel

Interesting.

Apparently the main issue is security.

 

[WorthlessSlavicShit]

Interesting, but not surprising. There have already been multiple cases where those ethics consultants and so on have either left their positions at tech giants or were fired.

A few years ago people thought we were headed towards another AI winter. I was thinking that as well. But with gpt-3 it all changed. Or at least so it seems at the moment.

Exactly what I used to think as well. Honestly, I think that, as overwhelming and incredible this might look at the moment, there's no telling what will happen once this starts plateauing with new industries springing up and getting established in society. The way how everyone who was pushing and shilling for crypto for years by now has just switched over to AI when that didn't work out is... a rather worrying sign tbh, though at this point, I'd say that there's still almost no reason to be pessimistic yet. Where a year or so ago I'd say there's a 50/50 chance of another AI winter, I'd say that today there's only 10% at worst, if I'm extremely pessimistic.

Programmer cucks have worked themselves to their own redundancy. The mass layoffs will probably begin in a few years to a decade depending on how fast AI accelerates, no fucking way corporation execs and kikes are going to miss out on the next era of automation. Cucks will keep deluding themselves with the idea that le government will suddenly pitch in and offer them universal NEETbuxx when all the tech jobs are gone.

Codemonkey jobs have been obsolete ever since code started being posted on the internet tbh. Now, most programming is choosing which pre-written code to use, rather than creating your own code. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if those guys just had another, even more "esoteric" jobs created for them. I already touched on this, but there are already predictions of multiple new industries being created solely around chatbots, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this wave of automation ended up creating more jobs than it destroys, by creating an entire array of bizzare, niche, bullshit jobs we can't even think of yet.

Apparently the main issue is security.

The amount of malware and spam that's going to be created with those tools is unfathomable tbh. I'm about 70% sure that the single biggest, main impact on society this will have will be absolutely flooding us with that kind of stuff. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this ended up fucking up the internet so much that people will start turning away from using it.

Smart enough to create AI technologies. Dumb enough to not see where it could lead.

Well, then it explain it to me. If they don't understand, that's their problem.

 

[based_meme]

I don't think anyone could've envisioned this to happen:

There's enough science fiction literature written to help guide the very people on the forefront of technology to get a handle on where their work might lead. I understand that they probably don't have the time or luxury to entertain fantastical what-if scenarios and spend energy thinking about potential use cases for applications of their work where it all goes horribly wrong, but that's precisely what people like Isaac Asimov (robotics), Robert Heilein (space travel), Aldous Huxley (genetic engineering), and Arthur C. Clarke (AI) are there for.

Even people who worked on the Manhattan Project knew exactly what they were doing and had a very good idea of how their work would change the world (for better or for worse, but usually for worse). These modern day scientists have less of an excuse and should be held to a higher degree of accountability, both moral and otherwise.

AI is very beneficial if strictly controlled. If it has reign over the wrong areas that is too much power for one entity

How tragically myopic.

When you get paid enough to enjoy a lifestyle than less than 5% of humanity will ever be able to enjoy than morality is thrown out of the window, who cares.

It’s like the programmers creating A.I. knowing it will put other up coming programmers like themselves out of job opportunities but the pay out for creating the AI outweighs their moral compass to help the next man out.

If there was no financial or status compensation for such findings how many of them would have quit and done something else with their lives instead of dedicating it solely to their interest and studies? Very very little….

here is the explanation for both of you:

why the nazis will take over the world, why hitler had autism like us and why 100 percent of children in the US will have autism by 2030

as you know all people on 4chan, incels.is and looksmax.org have autism because of our high neuroticism (high neuroticism is caused by autism)(i have autism), that is why we are so racist, misogynist and we are so different from normies, i can show you hundreds of posts of users of these...

incels.is

why the birth rates are going down and why hypergamy is increasing, why humans will go extinct, universe 25 mice experiment on humans

There is this old mouse experiment called "universe 25", where 4 pairs (8) of mice were put on a enclosed square area of 2.57m x 2.57m. They had unlimited access to food, water, and materials needed to build nests. The resources were calculated in such way that the mice could live without...

here is the explanation of why the jews are not evil:

why east asians are not better than whites at creating technologies and civilizations despite having a higher iq (EAST ASIANS DO NOT ENTER)

in 1992 china had the same conomy as india (despite china having a bigger population at this time, 1.2b vs 900m): let's start by differentiatiating the brain of whites and east asians, whites and east asians evolved in a very different way, east asians somehow evolved to have less affective...

You're right. There are very few scientists and researchers who would still continue the work if there was zero money in it, because all they care about is the science and not the money+fame that comes with it.
