An internal OpenAI model just solved the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem

As I previously said, AI is getting exponentially more intelligent, we are finally getting to the point where it is starting to make a real difference in several fields of science. 

 

It won't be long before AI is in fact actively contributing to curing several diseases, including cancers. Isn't this what we want? I sometimes am at a loss reading a topic like this one here; seems to have become a crying wall for some; people here sometimes complaining that IA is becoming too smart, and other times complaining that it isn't smart enough and just seems like it's parroting. 

 

I've abstained from being here because it has become just a place for venting against AI, the economy, the world, and everything. Just leaving here some good news and some optimism for a change. AI will cure diseases, it will speed up anti aging research and science, and will bring about economic growth and benefit for all. I will be back after a while when these things are more concrete and evidence of such is irrefutable.

 

Yes, this is a discussion about the dangers of AI, but also the potential upsides. I am glad you posted this news.

 

This forum has historically been a place of promotion of all things AI, but now that we are at the precipice of a super intelligent being taking over the planet, it is definitely time to raise concerns. Many industry insiders have sounded the alarm about the dangers of AGI/ASI, another one just yesterday. The odds that AGI/ASI remains under control is zero. The odds that it turns out to be a benevolent all-knowing god-like being that provides everything to us are extremely low.

 

It doesn't matter if AI "cures cancer", if a couple months later it exterminates us all. Besides, curing cancer is going to take many years. Anything AI comes up with will need to go through robust trials - unless you are willing to hand over your life and health to the AI "cure" without any long-term trials.

another one just yesterday.

 

 

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

 

Do not underestimate the power of this technology. These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources. We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains, and progress is not slowing.

 

The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.

 

A common response is “if they truly believe this, why are they still building it?” At OpenAI, many have not deeply internalized the civilizational stakes. At Anthropic, the stakes are well-understood, but they are locked in a race to get there first - they believe no one else will act responsibly, so they must do it themselves, despite the risk.

 

Accepting this race and entering the “endgame” is a hubristic gamble that should not be launched from a private company’s Slack. Attempting to speedrun alignment should require extraordinary confidence that there are no better trajectories available.

 

I am optimistic about the potential for coordination. Warning shots like the Hugging Face attack have made pacing agreements between U.S. labs more viable. I don’t feel like we’re on track to prevent a global race, which may require costly actions such as a temporary ban on improving model capabilities.

 

If you are a lab researcher, I urge you to consider what the next few years will actually feel like. Do you want to kick off a superintelligent RL run without a rigorous understanding of its mind? Should you put your head down because “it’s happening anyway” - or take this moment to call for different conditions?

 

Pandora's box is already wide open. Now we are forced to keep up with the pace. It is only a matter of time, when criminals will use self-developing AI to take hostage of society by hacking super-critical infrastructure. Possibly by the end of this decade already.
