Geoffrey Hinton Says AI’s Threat , Is More Urgent Than Climate Change.
The "Godfather of AI" made the statement
in an interview with Reuters on May 5.
I wouldn't like to devalue climate change.
I wouldn't like to say,
'You shouldn't worry about climate change.'
That's a huge risk too, Geoffrey Hinton, via Reuters.
But I think this might end
up being more urgent, Geoffrey Hinton, via Reuters.
With climate change, it's
very easy to recommend what you should do: you just stop burning carbon.
If you do that, eventually things will be okay.
, Geoffrey Hinton, via Reuters.
For this it's not at all clear
what you should do, Geoffrey Hinton, via Reuters.
Hinton recently quit Google after working
at the firm for over a decade so that he could speak about the dangers of artificial intelligence.
Since the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT-4,
thousands of experts have signed an open letter demanding a pause in developing AI systems.
Among the signatories was
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.
.
While Hinton share similar concerns
as the signatories, he doesn't believe
research should be paused.
It’s utterly unrealistic.
I'm in the camp that thinks this is an existential risk, and it’s close enough that we ought to be working very hard right now, and putting a lot of resources into figuring out what we can do about it, Geoffrey Hinton, via Reuters

Amazon to Invest , in OpenAI Rival Anthropic.
On Sept. 25, Amazon announced
that it will invest as much as $4 billion
into the AI startup, The Verge reports. .
Anthropic was founded by siblings and former OpenAI employees Dario and Daniela Amodei. .
The company is "best known for its
Claude chatbot," The Verge reports.
While the deal hardly holds a candle to the
$13 billion that Microsoft has put into OpenAI so far, .
it is significant because it positions
Amazon within the emerging AI race.
Anthropic's chatbot operates in a similar manor as ChatGPT and Bard, but the
company claims it is safer and more reliable.
Anthropic's chatbot operates in a similar manor as ChatGPT and Bard, but the
company claims it is safer and more reliable.
This is reportedly due to Claude's
ability to autonomously revise responses instead of depending on humans.
The chatbot also has the ability to interpret larger prompts, which is helpful when examining longer documents.
The deal will grant Amazon minority ownership of Anthropic. .
The company's technology will
be incorporated into various
Amazon products and applications. .
Google also has a 10% stake in the company,
which will not be affected by the deal with Amazon.
Anthropic intends to pursue its partnerships with both companies, independent of each other, The Verge reports.

FTC Files Antitrust Lawsuit , Against Amazon.
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sued Amazon.com on Sept. 26, Reuters reports. .
According to the FTC, Amazon restricted sellers on its platform from discounting, which suppressed competition, and required them to use its "fulfilment service.".
The lawsuit follows a four-year investigation after Amazon.com and other tech companies were accused of abusing their internet dominance, Reuters reports.
Lawsuits were also previously
filed against Google and Facebook.
Lawsuits were also previously

Left unchecked, Amazon will
continue its illegal course of conduct
to maintain its monopoly power, FTC, via lawsuit.
The FTC went on to ask the court "to put an end to Amazon's illegal course of conduct, pry loose Amazon's monopolistic control, deny Amazon the fruits of its unlawful practices,
and restore the lost promise of competition.".
The complaint also asked the court to contemplate "any preliminary or permanent equitable relief, including but not limited to structural relief, necessary to restore fair competition.".
Critics of Amazon applauded the lawsuit.
No corporation has ever centralized this
much power across so many crucial sectors. Left unchecked, Amazon’s power to dictate and control threatens the rule of law
and our ability to maintain open, democratically governed markets, Stacy Mitchell of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, via statement.
Amazon issued a statement about the FTC's lawsuit.
The practices the FTC is challenging have helped to spur competition and innovation across the retail industry, and have produced greater selection, lower prices, and faster delivery speeds for Amazon customers and greater opportunity for the many
businesses that sell in Amazon’s store, David Zapolsky, Amazon's general counsel, via statement

An Elon Musk biography, written by historian Walter Isaacson, will soon be released, NBC News reports. .

The action was reportedly taken because Musk was worried that attacking the Black Sea fleet would escalate conflict and possibly lead to nuclear war. .
Mykhailo Podolyak, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's adviser, took to
X to condemn Musk's order.
By not allowing Ukrainian drones to destroy part of the Russian military (!) fleet via #Starlink interference, @elonmusk allowed this fleet to fire Kalibr missiles at Ukrainian cities, Mykhailo Podolyak, President Volodymyr Zelensky's adviser, via X.

he didn't enable the attack.

There was an emergency request from government authorities to activate Starlink all the way to Sevastopol. The obvious intent being to sink most of
the Russian fleet at anchor, Elon Musk, via X.
If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war
and conflict escalation, Elon Musk, via X.
