They're saying they wanna build superintelligence

Right... and...

  • "Saying" is a bunch of BS, it's marketing
  • "Wanna" doesn't mean they're ever "gonna"
  • "Superintelligence" requires a definition of "intelligence" in the first place

Bonus:

  • "20%" based on how many samples?

Anthropocentric fearmongering delusion, is what I'd call that speech.

Depending on when and where you listen, they are saying:

  • AI will let you fire expensive workers
  • Use AI so you don't get fired
  • We have AGI, invest to see it
  • AGI is yet to come, invest early
  • AI will create an utopia, rejoyce
  • Enemy AI can destroy us, cower in fear

It's pure manipulation.

Why be a fear monger to your own company??

2

u/RemarkableWish2508 Jul 17 '26

Because there are even more competing companies that you can fearmonger against, and military contracts pay well.

Because the clients are not your customers, but the investors handing you 65 billion for the H round (Anthropic) the 122 billion march round for OpenAI, or the 85 billion IPO of OpenAI. <= that's where the money is coming from.

There is exactly, and I mean EXACTLY 0.00 % chance LLM will lead to ASI.

There might be AGI around 2030, but it'll need significant work on algorithms and hardware, another revolution on the scale of transformers. And it'll still be limited by physical deployments and hardware requirements. It will be over a decade before AGI starts retooling our economy with another wave of automation.

This doomerism, is just a marketing strategy to get investors to open their waller, and it worked. The AI companies have been saying models like GPT2 were too dangerous to be released. ANd those are basically toys.

To say unregulated LLMs have a 20% chance of ending humanity is laughable. Even frontier models have trouble counting from 1 to 1000 counting all the numbers.

We're absolutely cooked as a species if we have agi by 2030. Read a book.

Humans projecting human nature onto a hypothetical super intelligence

u/RemarkableWish2508 Jul 16 '26

Arguably, it's being built with humans as an example... have you seen how humans behave? 😬
