Bob sees little reason to reconsider the trade-off, especially since ChatGPT seems to have vindicated 80,000 hours’ prior belief that AI was going to be a big deal
ChatGPT is just the tip of the iceberg here.
GPT4 is significantly more powerful than 3.5. Google now has a multi-modal model that can take in sound, images and video and a context window of up to a million tokens. Sora can generate amazing realistic videos. And everyone is waiting to see what GPT5 can do.
Further, the Center for AI Safety open letter has demonstrated that it isn’t just our little community that is worried about these things, but a large number of AI experts.
Their ‘AI is going to be a big thing’ bet seems to have been a wise call, at least at the current point in time. Of course, I’m doing AI Safety movement building, so I’m a bit biased here, and maybe we’ll think differently down the line, but right now they’re clearly ahead.
