OpenAI: The power and the pride

However, Amnesty International Empire It is a powerful work, not only with great reports but also with great ideas. This comes through service to two main topics.

The first is simple: It is the story of ambition to transcend morals. The history of Openai, as hao tells it (and as Hagey also does) is a story of a company founded on the ideal desire to create artificial public intelligence that focuses on safety but instead it has become more interested in winning. This is a story that we have seen several times before in Big Tech. See Theranos, which would have made diagnoses easier, or Uber, which were established to break the “Taxi Big”. But the closest representation may be Google, who has moved from “not be evil” to (at least in the eyes of the courts). For this issue, think about how Google has moved from launching her language model as a consumer producer from an abundance of caution to rushing to Chatbot outside the door to catch up with or overcome Openai. In Silicon Valley, regardless of the original intent, it is always to win.

The second topic is more complicated and constitutes the book’s thesis on what Hao calls colonialism Amnesty International. The idea is that the large artificial intelligence companies act like traditional empires, wealth of wealth from the lower degrees of society in the forms of work, creative works, raw materials, and the like to feed their ambition and enrich those at the top of the peace. “I only found a single metaphor covering the nature of what the players of power are artificial intelligence:” empires. ”

“During the long era of European colonialism, the empires seized the resources that were not for their own and took advantage of the work of the people who were subjected to the extraction of these resources, and the refinement of these resources to enrich the empires.” And it continues to date its growing disappointment with this industry. She wrote: “Thanks to the increasing clarity, I realized that the same revolution that promises to bring a better future was instead, for people on the margins of society, and to revive the darkest remnants of the past.”

To document this, Hao’s step away from her office and go out to the world to see the effects of this empire while extending across the planet. She travels to Colombia to meet the veement of data charged with teaching artificial intelligence as shown by different images, one of which describes running to her apartment to get a chance to make a few dollars. It documents how workers in Kenya who conducted a moderate in the content of Openai’s data marks were shocked by seeing many annoying materials. In Chile, it is documented how to extract the industry from precious resources – water, power, copper, and lithium – to create data centers.
