It is happening folks, the future of work is being redesigned. Yes, More tech companies wants to fire more workers from next week: "The third wave is going to happen next week. That affects everybody in the biz teams, including in my organization. It's just a time of great anxiety and uncertainty" Says Meta President.

Time and tide will not wait for any person. That means we must pay attention to how new technologies, and specifically AI, will make it easier for companies to become more efficient. Simply, this companies may not need a lot of workers, your bank may not need many staff. Your insurer may not need many workers. And the list keeps growing.

It has nothing to do with AI. Economic distress in America is enormous. Many banks have gone under. Inflation is biting harder. Ukraine miscalculation is obvious. Facebook has been using AI in most of its features and products for more than 15 years now, so Ai has nothing to do with it. They embarked on unprofitable projects. And over hired. Apple has never laid off employees despite the economic downturn. They did well in hiring and never had failed projects. Metaverse failed. Gaming projects failed. Fintech, Lira failed. In the last 20 months, Sanbberg left, nobody is there to "tam the lion" Most Tech companies went woke: hired talents in order to prevent competitors from having access, they kept them idle, just to hijack a pool of talent. Over hired without proper assessment and protection. The existing projects couldn't turn in expected revenue, even before inflation war in USA set it. Let's put it in perspective without blaming AI. 95% of big tech have been using AI in the last 15 years. My advice: Improvise, Build passive income as a personal hedge against inflation. Do not hesitate to ask question where common knowledge fails.

Musk was an initial investor in Open AI - after criticizing AI dooming the planet. On the board - he did not like the direction and tried unsuccessfully to take over the company in 2018. He also did not like OpenAI's hiring practices. In 2020, Musk left the company and sold his stock citing a conflict of interest with Tesla AI. In November 2022, OpenAI's first chatbot was released to the public. The technology was soon incorporated into Microsoft's Bing search engine as ChatGPT4. OpenAI has been profitable since its start in 2015, but has increased its loses from the release of ChatGPT. Musk was one of 11 board members who started the company in 2015.

It was in Feb 20, 2018, when OpenAI and GPT still in its infancy state, and soon after his failed attempt to take over the company from the co-founders and the CEO. By 2019, Microsoft has made investment of $1B to OpenAI and signed the partnership, which OpenAI transitioned from non-profit to for-protift. Most of the work and milestones were after Musk left.

[@kaboomkp]

@@JJ-ix4zr Yea but as a result of the 700/770 employees protesting his firing, Satya Nadella hiring Altman and any people who quit OpenAI, Microsoft basically forced the boards hand - not to say some of the concerns of AGI aren't valid but not consulting a 49% owner before firing the CEO is stupid.

[@pcodes]

There's a documentary/Interview of Ilya. And he's too concerned about the wrong use of AGI as Elon is. Elon, Ilya and Geoffrey Hinton whose worked led the foundation of the AI boom we're witnessing towards are all in the same page and their concern is super valid. It has spearheaded a new race. And with the advancements in Quantum Computers this will make the period to achieve AGI even more shorter because AGI will not run on normal computers it's the Quantum Computers who will evenly have the original capacity to cater the computing power needed to run a full fledged AGI.

How do all the comments here miss the whole point of this video? He's not saying he's the reason OpenAI exists to brag, he's saying that he originally funded OpenAI with a different vision in mind, where OpenAI's AI developments would be open source (aka in layman terms, the code is out there for the public to see, use and critique) and not-for-profit. Yet, OpenAI has done a full U-turn and become a closed-source (code is NOT public, but made privy only to insiders), for-profit company that does not share it's developments or AI use-cases to the world in its fullest capacity. Guys. Please read between the lines. Maybe take off the veil of hate you have for this man that is blinding you from looking at things objectively and you'll be able to critically think for once.

It takes courage to willingly be vulnerable, esp when you know you're going to be attacked no matter what you say. They can not win, yet they choose to still engage and speak their minds. They don't HAVE to engage w/the public at large and "show up" but I'm glad they're driven to (not bothered by their motivations). Conversations w/them are important.

No, Elon Musk is not the reason why artificial intelligence (AI) exists. AI has a long history that predates Elon Musk's involvement. The field of AI emerged in the 1950s and has since evolved through the contributions of numerous researchers, scientists, and engineers. While Elon Musk has made significant contributions to the development of AI and has been a prominent advocate for responsible AI research, he is not solely responsible for its existence. Musk has invested in AI-related ventures, such as Tesla's Autopilot and OpenAI, and has expressed concerns about the potential risks of unchecked AI development. However, AI would still exist and continue to progress even if Musk had not been involved. It's important to recognize that AI is a result of collective efforts from researchers, institutions, and the broader scientific community over many decades, rather than being attributed to any single individual. - chat gpt

Yes, indeed the scariest prospect of all is an AI surreptitiously taking over the infrastructure of a "legitimate" company like MS over a period of months or years, embedding itself in a latent state, and then one fine day "going live with Skynet". The hubristic humans at MS would never have a clue it was happening (nor admit to it even if they did), and to the outside world it would all seem to have been human-initiated activity...and by the time anyone caught on, it would be too late.

Went straight to the source for its side of the story. Me: why do Elon Musk have beef with ChatGPT ChatGPT: As an AI language model, I don't have real-time information or personal opinions. As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, there were no known public instances of Elon Musk expressing personal animosity or "beef" towards ChatGPT or AI language models in general. Elon Musk has been known to have concerns about artificial intelligence and its potential risks, but those concerns are generally related to broader issues such as AI safety, ethics, and responsible development. It's worth noting that Elon Musk has been involved in the development of OpenAI, the organization behind the creation of ChatGPT, and he has expressed support for its mission. However, opinions and perspectives can evolve over time, so it's possible that there may have been developments or statements since my last update that I am not aware of.
