Interesting read!

History of AGI discussion feels like:
- 2017: it's 1-2 years away
- 2018: it's 5-10 years away
- 2019: >10 years away
- 2020: even humans are not AGI... let's imitate them (but that's hard too!)

Still lots of progress, as Bengio says: "Science is progressive"! https://t.co/bWI80UYX2d

Above anything else, the directors of this company should give themselves an “F” for failing to live by their own charter, with an undue concentration of power in white male leadership. A(G)I requires diversity and inclusion at the highest levels. https://t.co/R2ZgZaWbhX

“There is a misalignment between what the company publicly espouses and how it operates behind closed doors...
OpenAI, for all its noble aspirations, is obsessed with maintaining secrecy, protecting its image, and retaining the loyalty of its employees.” https://t.co/VBCdNbVtC9

What a fascinating microcosm of the challenges of AI: the drive toward AGI, even though we don’t realllly know what it means; the earnest desire to be responsible (same), the lure of hype & the techno-solutionism that can’t get out of its own way. Great reporting. https://t.co/p8CAQnjXjv

By far the most interesting thing in this article about OpenAI and its goal of AGI is the recurring problem that no one has a clear idea of what constitutes AGI https://t.co/inRTGauxKP pic.twitter.com/V0J2iYmAYU

I spent half a year digging into @OpenAI, the SF-based AI research lab, originally founded by @elonmusk. I started with a few simple questions: Who are they? What are their goals? How do they work? After nearly three dozen interviews, I found so much more. https://t.co/wheK6r3r8j

This is interesting, but what struck me was “In fairness, this lack of diversity is typical in AI. ...women accounted for 20% of AI professorships...”

In my *psychology* department, women account for 31% of our professors. Absolutely no where near our PhD grad numbers. https://t.co/b77ZEwMoMH

Article on the culture of OpenAI gave me weird flashbacks. The author couldn’t know this, but the personalities and ways of thinking are SO familiar from 1988. AI still attracts the same sort of person, subject to the same peculiar cognitive distortions.https://t.co/krbpr5JQch
