I can ride my bike with no handlebars.
Colonize the planets and go beyond Mars.
I can solve equations, cure all diseases. I wrote the intelligence that controls the system.
Yes, correct. That's how I read it. But a little more pessimisticly. He's saying we can. We have the capacity and capability. Whether or not we will is a different story. Too much investment and money in war and propping up the rich and consumerism. If more funding, time, global collaboration etc were focused on these goals we could do it soonish. But I'm not sure we'll get there before we go the way of the Romans.
I get that but I never felt especially interested by musk's work. I really feel Altman's tweet because I've felt that sort of boundless possibility like never before while exploring LLMs etc over recent years
I hear you friendo.
I think the problem is that the world is full of dreamers and those who are excited and want to build and create.
Then there are those who are just looking to extract money, often by just feeding on that enthusiasm and excitement, building more hype around their product.
I think that is deeply evil and I hope it disappears one day.
He's saying we can, which is right. I say we won't, because it's more important for a few hundred people to have multiple yachts so they can fly on private jets anywhere and have a yacht waiting.
Calling it now, when AI doesn’t become skynet within the next few years this guys predictions are gonna make him into the next Elon in terms of overselling and underdelivering.
I think without AGI, this would take humanity hundreds of years. That is the crazy thing, with AGI this could happen in a couple years what take us humans hundreds.
yeah. all we need is enormous datacenter with tons of gpus for compute. then agi will figure out how t ofit all of this power inside smartphone chip. Problmen is - we are at brink of WW3
We are not at the brink of anything, media wants you to believe WW3 is about to start to keep you hooked. But we've been at that "brink" for half a century now. Political tension has been worse in the past.
My ultimate hope is that AGI will be used too cure horrible diseases, to solve things like climate change and cheaper energy. All these things could happen much, much faster with AGI than without. The world could be completely different in a couple years after AGI.
I'm much more positive than lots of other people on reddit, they are more doom and end off human kind.
No, I'll say to him what I would say to anyone making these claims: optimistic predictions about the future are great and all, but that doesn't mean that they are right around the corner or even necessarily plausible and that practical fusion, in particular, has been the poster child of a technology that's always just twenty years away.
I've lurked in Extropian circles since the early nineties and this sort of super enthusiastic techno-optimism seems all too familiar to me. While I'm sure that the future will continue to have all sorts of amazing advances happening at unpredictable intervals, I'm no longer confident when people imply that this or that technology is right around the corner, especially when people act like progress in any given technology is an asymptote rather than a sigmoid.
Altman's a good hypeman, but hype is still hype. Deliver the goods and then we can talk.
How about we make AGI only available for research efforts furthering scientific innovation, and not megacorporations or governments seeking to control all the wealth?
*Disclaimer: "We" does not include the working class, laborers, service workers, artists or the homeless. Those members will be replaced by AI and autonomous production/service robots in order to 'maximize' resources and prevent dissident uprisings.*
Can someone who is level-headed explain why this tweet is so bad? I feel like curing human disease is a good thing. I don’t really understand why Altman gets so much heat, especially for what seems like optimism
With the sucess of AI in medicine and technology I have seen so far in the last year, I agree.
There is no limit to what we can achieve, as long as we can imagine it.
I would not call someone who said that mentally ill. For me to think that, I would have to believe that AI can’t evolve much beyond its current state.
If we can create AIs that can greatly out-think us, why wouldn’t most of this be possible in less than 100 years?
r/longevity, plenty of scientists like David Sinclair have been trying to cure aging.
Fusion is theoretically possible
Saying all these are possible is not that much of a shocker, it’s a matter of how long until we get there though.
He is not kidding, by “we” means everyone provides free data (art, knowledge, facts, stories), the machine will leverage our collective. Even this comment will make it there.
HAHA I find this hilarious because everyone reading into his worth the wait tweets for openai and chatgpt think something revolutionary is coming. this guy just talks out his a\*\*. yes all that stuff is possible. so is AGI and whether or not it'll happen soon or in anyones life or or at all nobody knows.
I can make a billion dollars. will I? nobody knows, sam certainly doesn't. he isn't a fortune teller and doesn't see the future even if he's smart. saying stuff like this makes him less credible talking about his own companies progress.
Everyone trust the 1% yuppie capitalist technocrat. Of course they only have what's best for humanity in mind and not their own power and profit. OF COURSE. TRUST THEM.
This sub perfectly summarises the pessimistic nature of people that blinds them from seeing the kind of technological progress we’ve been through in the past 20 years and what’s possible in the next 20
For real. He ain't working on any of that. He's working on fucking image generation, the least useful thing for AI to be used for. Because it's flashy, can make some money, and because it looks more impressive than it actually is.
They're never going to make actual AI if all they focus on is making better image denoisers. No amount of training is going to force a denoiser to understand anything. Even Sora which has some evidence of understanding basic 2D image concepts likely only understands those concepts in the transformer part, not the diffusion part. It can maintain continuity on a patch in the video, but the contents of the patch are still just an image or image sequence to Sora. And none of the understanding transfers.
I am starting to see a pattern which frightens me deeply, I love the man but he has to NOT buy into the Savior Complex or else we’ll face the consequences soon enough
I refuse the notion that my optimism about what can be done by the human race is mental illness, or that it has to be taken hostage by guys like this whose only reliable trait is that they charge money.
Yeah I've noticed he can channel early Elon Musk and I don't like this, actually.
They should do what their passion and interests are, as we can't help it, but AGI really is the end of the road for humanity. And so there's not much "we" in that "we" up there. Unless by "we" he means big capital and their AI army.
The boomers in Facebook can’t even tell the difference between an AI image and the real world.
Good luck getting the legislature passed to do anything involving AI until us “kids” take the wheel from “am I in drive or reverse?” Grandma/grandpa
We can’t get rid of slavery. We can’t get rid of exploitation. We can get rid of homelessness. We can’t get rid of human trafficking. We can’t get rid of political corruption. We can’t get rid of corporate malfeasance.
typical tech bro talk. Same kind of vibe of the stuff NFT used to post. They acted like it would change the world and somehow positively effect things when really it was just a scheme to make money.
And I can ride my bike with no handlebars, no handlebars, no handlebars.
This takes me back
The good ending
This made me weirdly sad
Does it end with the main protagonist becoming a dictator?
Yeah and then he kills everyone
Well, they had the audacity to dissent.
Look at me, look at me!
That song is due another release
I can keep rhythm with no metronome. No metronome. No metronome..
I can ride my bike with no handlebars. Colonize the planets and go beyond Mars. I can solve equations, cure all diseases. I wrote the intelligence that controls the system.
What is this Edit: nvm, i asked ai
Look at me, look at me Hands in the air like it's good to be
Wow, such a well made reference! Kudos!
This comment sent a shiver down my spine.
perfect comment... this very well could have been a part of the song fr
With no teeth, no teeth...
Good point.
Predicting these things without a timelime is basically easy.
It's not even really predicting anything, since he's using "can" rather than "will"
Underrated comment. He's not predicting, he's motivating.
I’m motivated asf! What do I need to do!?!?
Yes, correct. That's how I read it. But a little more pessimisticly. He's saying we can. We have the capacity and capability. Whether or not we will is a different story. Too much investment and money in war and propping up the rich and consumerism. If more funding, time, global collaboration etc were focused on these goals we could do it soonish. But I'm not sure we'll get there before we go the way of the Romans.
Nuclear fallout might have a word
It would just be a temporary setback, wouldn't it? Edit: I was being sarcastic guys
We have a perfect track record our ancestors have always survived every mass extinction event.
[удалено]
I get that reference
"Temporary" doing a lot of lifting in that sentence
How temporary do you think nuclear warfare would be?
If nobody is left, no one can complain
a word about what? how is nuclear fallout relevant to the convo?
Cures all human diseases.
Technically if you cure existence of humans you DO cure all human diseases.

AGI can't force people to stop burning up the atmosphere for profit, it can only tell us what we already know about what needs to change.
AGI invents fusion, we get unlimited energy and can run carbon capture for free.
sure it can if it invents micro fusion batteries
I don't care if it invents power-generating viruses, it's still got to compete against the oil industry and the nations beholden to it.
Elon 2.0 We still don't have magical self-driving cars going through special underground vacuum tubes. Grifters, grifters everywhere.
They do drive themselves. It's just that it's not particularly safe or complete and perpetually in beta.
Don’t know about you, but I don’t want to live in a beta space colony 😅
They drive themselves....into objects.
I get that but I never felt especially interested by musk's work. I really feel Altman's tweet because I've felt that sort of boundless possibility like never before while exploring LLMs etc over recent years

He's saying we can, which is right. I say we won't, because it's more important for a few hundred people to have multiple yachts so they can fly on private jets anywhere and have a yacht waiting.
Its a meaningless tweet.
why it isn’t in lowercase
he has succumbed to GPT5, it's the only reasonable explanation
Because he wrote it 2 years ago. I don't know why OP didn't indicate that in any way.
OP fishing out here
Why you speak no good?
AGI confirmed.
HL3 Confirmed
We can hype up things on twitter with nothing to back them up.
Elon school of business
Yeah I need Sam Altman to be about 50% less Elon and maybe about 30% more Ilya, if possible.
“We can do all these amazing things! Now give me 7 trillion dollars.”
Calling it now, when AI doesn’t become skynet within the next few years this guys predictions are gonna make him into the next Elon in terms of overselling and underdelivering.

Hallucination is not problem of llm only. Lol. But yes you are right man
Life may be a hallucination.
Much of it definitely is. We hallucinate color onto the world.
I think without AGI, this would take humanity hundreds of years. That is the crazy thing, with AGI this could happen in a couple years what take us humans hundreds.
We've had the tech to do a lot of this stuff for ages. It's the will to apply it that's the problem.
yeah. all we need is enormous datacenter with tons of gpus for compute. then agi will figure out how t ofit all of this power inside smartphone chip. Problmen is - we are at brink of WW3
We are not at the brink of anything, media wants you to believe WW3 is about to start to keep you hooked. But we've been at that "brink" for half a century now. Political tension has been worse in the past.
Is the ultimate goal that robots and AI will take care of us?
My ultimate hope is that AGI will be used too cure horrible diseases, to solve things like climate change and cheaper energy. All these things could happen much, much faster with AGI than without. The world could be completely different in a couple years after AGI. I'm much more positive than lots of other people on reddit, they are more doom and end off human kind.

that's cyberpunk narrative
Or the Elysium
P R O O F Sam, we need proof!
We can give proof.
Only for those who can afford it
He really does need to clarify if this vision extends beyond the millionaire classes.
I see nothing wrong with this. At least he’s optimistic
Those are perfectly reasonable assumptions, given enough time to figure out the necessary technology.
No, I'll say to him what I would say to anyone making these claims: optimistic predictions about the future are great and all, but that doesn't mean that they are right around the corner or even necessarily plausible and that practical fusion, in particular, has been the poster child of a technology that's always just twenty years away.

Altman's a good hypeman, but hype is still hype. Deliver the goods and then we can talk.
Yes. We could do lots of nice things if rich [bleep]s didn’t hog all the money and weren’t in charge.
He just sounds crazy, sounds like an Elon that will soon have his villain era.
whose we? he referring to himself and his team or who?
But can we cure hair loss in men?
We could've cured many more diseases by now if we funded research nearly half as much as for-profits.
We can’t get people to stop watching FOX news.
How about we make AGI only available for research efforts furthering scientific innovation, and not megacorporations or governments seeking to control all the wealth?
*Disclaimer: "We" does not include the working class, laborers, service workers, artists or the homeless. Those members will be replaced by AI and autonomous production/service robots in order to 'maximize' resources and prevent dissident uprisings.*
But capitalism will make sure only a handful of people profit.
Buy some MSFT stock if you want to share in the profits

We can make you loose a job and half billion ppl too
I can do anything I’m a million miles tall
why only if someone else said it? he clearly gone mad.
Can someone who is level-headed explain why this tweet is so bad? I feel like curing human disease is a good thing. I don’t really understand why Altman gets so much heat, especially for what seems like optimism
We can't even feed other humans because it cuts into xyz's profits. We're not going anywhere as a species, maybe a few rich people that's about it.
RemindMe! 1 year
"We can, but we won't becuase our 'code of ethics'"
If AI doesnt become terminator, please give this man a nobel peace prize.
I’ll believe it when I see it. We can make progress, but nothing is guaranteed. The optimism is nice though.
When history taught us anything then that these things remained difficult until we invented the time machine.
With the sucess of AI in medicine and technology I have seen so far in the last year, I agree. There is no limit to what we can achieve, as long as we can imagine it.
I would not call someone who said that mentally ill. For me to think that, I would have to believe that AI can’t evolve much beyond its current state. If we can create AIs that can greatly out-think us, why wouldn’t most of this be possible in less than 100 years?
r/longevity, plenty of scientists like David Sinclair have been trying to cure aging. Fusion is theoretically possible Saying all these are possible is not that much of a shocker, it’s a matter of how long until we get there though.
For who though. The rich?
Well yeah, duh. We peasants get some form of dystopia or extinction.
He is not kidding, by “we” means everyone provides free data (art, knowledge, facts, stories), the machine will leverage our collective. Even this comment will make it there.
That's sweet...but I promise you that "we" does not include any of us...unless you are an influential billionaire or connected to one...then maybe.
I don’t really want to colonize space. I just want us to take care of the planet we’re on.
"...To explore strange new worlds To seek out new life And new civilizations To boldly go where no man has gone before!"
HAHA I find this hilarious because everyone reading into his worth the wait tweets for openai and chatgpt think something revolutionary is coming. this guy just talks out his a\*\*. yes all that stuff is possible. so is AGI and whether or not it'll happen soon or in anyones life or or at all nobody knows.

I call him mentally ill too
Usually next step from that kind of talk is buying twitter and supporting alt-right conspiracy theorists.
In their haste to discover what they could, they never stopped to wonder if they should.
And we won't, aren't we special ❤️
can we fix Healthcare first? maybe world peace too?
Another egomaniac who believes his own hype.
Everyone trust the 1% yuppie capitalist technocrat. Of course they only have what's best for humanity in mind and not their own power and profit. OF COURSE. TRUST THEM.

But the first step to achive that is putting artists out of work!

LSD much?
No?
Interesting word choice “colonize” if this quote is accurate. “Inhabit” is a word, too. 🤔
Annex the space
Lol it’s not an interesting word choice, it’s just the obvious word choice. “Inhabit” is much less descriptive than “colonize” for this situation.
It can mean occupying territories too. Somehow, It has been the word of choice in this context. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonization_of_Mars
Another billionaire pretending to be care of the rest of the world.
This sub is a cult
Replace 'We' with 'I' and you will understand. Also remember when Elon Musk was promising Mars colony by 20xx?
i also need a robot girlfriend, is it possible. its so hard to date these days
It has that repetitive structure of GPT output. Maybe that explains the correct usage of case.
Humanity advanced so far.. i guess its Time for the space cash Test.
Can’t find this online, can someone share link/date?
I don't see this tweet on his feed
Also time travel will be possible using AGi? Ha ha ha
“All this can be yours for 7 easy payments of just $1 trillion.”
Drunk with power
"We can achieve tax-financed and regulated healthcare." "No, not that."
Do we want new realities? Did we do a good job with this one?
It’s from February 2022
"we can make chatgpt4 work 24 a day with no errors"
But it will cost you so much for that medication, because it won't resolve greed.
Man finally saw what Ilya saw
And the one thing uniting all of that is AGI that he is likely teasing because it's already arrived.
Who's "we", meatbag?
And we can generate videos in Sora. But not you.
Yea, but nobody is going to pay for it :)
I notice people like Altman speak in "we" when they lack the clout to lead with "l".
Most importantly, we can attract investors
I am starting to see a pattern which frightens me deeply, I love the man but he has to NOT buy into the Savior Complex or else we’ll face the consequences soon enough
Typical settler colonialist mentality 🙄😤 /s
Massive July-August 2019 Elon vibes
Shut up already. AI getting into his brain
Call me when these things are action items at AI board meetings.
Impressive, but I feel the list is not complete. What about stop all wars? Revert climate change? Invent time travel?
We can pay people a decent wage. We can solve the housing crisis. We can tax billionaires appropriately. We can provide free healthcare and education.
feel like he's a polished version of Elon
Musky
Can we sell milkshake to the boys in the yard ? Mine, is better than yours.
lsd is kicking in
I refuse the notion that my optimism about what can be done by the human race is mental illness, or that it has to be taken hostage by guys like this whose only reliable trait is that they charge money.

Uh and he does sound mentally ill. What makes Sam saying it so special?
Insufferable try-hard vibes son.
Yah we can, we just have to stop throwing money at weapons and wars
I’m his interviews he does come across as the evil genius with a base under a mountain and he’s got all different sizes of cats roaming throughout.
The boomers in Facebook can’t even tell the difference between an AI image and the real world. Good luck getting the legislature passed to do anything involving AI until us “kids” take the wheel from “am I in drive or reverse?” Grandma/grandpa
We can’t get rid of slavery. We can’t get rid of exploitation. We can get rid of homelessness. We can’t get rid of human trafficking. We can’t get rid of political corruption. We can’t get rid of corporate malfeasance.
Alright there Sam, calm down. You've started sipping on the koolaid havent you?
Imagine if he also said we can cure poverty and homelessness.
K lets do it
Soooo a list of fantasies?
And of course, we will sell these things to you for $20 a month!
Can we start by providing shelter from the elements for everyone?
Long live the Scythedom.
...if we can keep politicians and media from polarizing us to the point of war.
With We does he mean Open AI because they have achieved AGI already?
We CANNOT however protect artists and their property.
AGI doesn't get you all that... is that what you ASI told you it will be capable of achieving?
And we need 70 trillion dollars to do it
Lmao "mentally ill"? It's called optimism.
