Really nice article
Today Zeit published an interview [1] with Demis Hassabis. If you compare the #DeepMind team to irresponsible clowns from #OpenAI, you can really see the whole picture. Picture of AI companies fighting for profit and researchers who need those to sustain their pursuit for knowledge.
Hunt for profit will probably harm us all
No one asks, "Is this responsible?" or "Does it actually work?" anymore. They ship as fast as possible and sell the idea of future #AGI, which at some point is inevitable. Which is a really fair point. I truly believe AGI will come at some point. Probably created by some private company.
Later, though, it will be open source, optimized, and running on our #Linux desktops. Just as #DeepSeek is now.
