Ilya Sutskever Watch posted an update
At an OpenAI retreat in 2022, co-founder Ilya Sutskever brought out a wooden figure representing a misaligned AI, acted out the danger it symbolised, then watched it burn, Business Insider recounts from Kevin Roose’s new book.
Why it mattersRoose writes that Sutskever warned the gathering the imagined AGI could be “pretending to be aligned” and deceiving its creators. The hotel worker, rather than the future superintelligence, handled the fire.
Discuss: Does a theatrical warning about AI risk make the danger easier to take seriously, or does it risk turning safety into a performance?
