In this book, Nick Bostrom delves into the implications of creating superintelligence, which could surpass human intelligence in all domains. He discusses the potential dangers, such as the loss of human control over such powerful entities, and presents various strategies to ensure that superintelligences align with human values. The book examines the 'AI control problem' and the need to endow future machine intelligence with positive values to prevent existential risks[3][5][4].
In 'Genius Makers,' Cade Metz provides an inside story of how AI evolved from a fringe enthusiasm to a transformative technology. The book chronicles the lives of mavericks, eccentrics, and geniuses, particularly Geoffrey Hinton, who played a critical role in developing deep learning. Metz explains the technology in an accessible way, highlighting the industrial and academic rivalries, and the vast fortunes and intense conflicts that arose as AI became big business. The book also explores the future implications of AI on human society, including issues of privacy, security, bias, and prejudice.
o3 Pro is here. Sam Altman thinks the singularity might be too.
This week, Paul and Mike dive into OpenAI’s o3 Pro reasoning model and what makes it fundamentally different. They explore Sam Altman’s bold claim that the singularity has begun, Meta’s superintelligence ambitions, and Disney’s high-stakes lawsuit against Midjourney.
They also break down search traffic freefalls, mechanized job automation, and whether GPTs or projects are better for scaling AI workflows, among other topics, in our rapid-fire section.
