Q. On Friday, November 17th the head of Open AI, Sam Altman was fired after getting into a disagreement with director Helen Toner over safety concerns she voiced in an article previously published. This caused 700 of the company's employees to sign a letter to the board of directors saying they would all quit and go to Microsoft if Altman wasn't reinstated.
Microsoft, as an investor in Open AI also pushed for Sam Altman's return. The following Tuesday he was rehired and two members on the board of directors were forced to leave.
Subsequently whistleblowers revealed to Reuters that the rapid progress of a new AI-model called [Q] had prompted researchers to voice concerns over lack of safety to the board of directors, which ultimately led to Altman's demise. [Q-star] or [Q] was considered a significant step toward achieving AGI - artificial general intelligence. It could solve grade school level math problems. The researchers feared that this model, if left unchecked could pose a threat to mankind.
But what exactly is [Q-star], how is it constructed and how close to human consciousness and intelligence do you see it getting? What exactly spooked the staff so much that it made them fear for the safety of humanity? What's the endgame with Microsoft's involvement with AI research?
Thanks!A. Yesterday In my email I got another warning from YouTube where they removed my content titled "Q[ue] Anon Questions" from 2018. I was able to see the video on the YouTube studio, but they blocked the ability to download it as I would have surely republished it for all of you to view! [With it being 5 years ago it is archived on a hard drive that I need to dig out].
At the 8:55 mark I simply said people were waking up and wondering what was going on in the world. I noted that people were shocked at the direction things were going. That was it- nothing harmful, dangerous or inciting any violence whatsoever.
Apparently they are scrubbing the internet of anything referring to Que, Que-Anon or anything of the like. In our current world of censorship this post itself may get blocked too, but I'm taking a chance.
I initially thought my "warning" had to do with upcoming elections and their need to control any free thinking outside of the NPC script until I received the above email [in the question portion]. Things then clicked and made even more sense. Elon Musk phrased it well when being bullied by advertisers, and it bears repeating in this situation. Fuck you YouTube! I'm not going to be bullied. It is a trash platform that thinks nothing of teaching kids about getting Botox in their assholes so they can "bottom" easier [yes, that is a real video!], but if I do a read on an alternative perspective I am inciting hateful speech? My shadow banned channel that was demonetized (but they still want to run ads- just not pay me) which I haven't uploaded to in several months out of principle is somehow a threat.
