First Mover Advantage
In my last post I wrote it does not matter who will develop AGI first. This is incorrect. OpenAI is on the verge of developing a model (GPT-5) smart enough to accelerate the development of its successor. At that moment, they - OpenAI - will rapidly start accumulating an unlimited power. I wonder if some external forces (mainly US government) will ( Read more... ) -
Jobs
An AGI-level model will appear within the next 3 years. Most likely it will be GPT-5 or GPT-6. It's possible that Google or Anthropic (or even one of the smaller players) will catch up with OpenAI by that time. It does not really matter who will develop it first.
I've been thinking about what happens next. I define AGI-level intelligence as ( Read more... ) -
GPT-4+
There have been significant technical developments recently at OpenAI: voice interface, visual interface, and internet search have been added to GPT-4 in the last 30 days. In addition, the maximum text input length has been expanded to an equivalent of hundreds of pages.

The improvement from GPT-3.5 is significant. I've seen no factual errors, logical inconsistencies, nor any other indications that I'm not talking to a smart and ( Read more... ) -

2. I bought an Apple watch with cellular. I used to carry my iPhone with me ( Read more... ) -

Existence of God
Basilides, one of the most intriguing figures of early Gnosticism, believed that the highest attribute of divinity is its inexistence. By his own account, Basilides was a theologian of the “nonexistent God”; he referred to God as “he who is not,” as opposed to the maker of the world, trapped in existence and time.
