I don't think they understand the work done (via w3c) on rww/solid or aspects pertaining to what I called "human centric" methodologies via the intended embodiment of "parts" + new structures.
IE: DIDs intent was for commons informatics (coolURIs), Creds, verifiable claims.

🚨EA UNVEILS AI SYSTEM FOR INSTANT GAME CREATION
Electronic Arts has unveiled a futuristic AI system that could revolutionize game development.
Their "Imagination to Creation" concept allows users to create and modify games instantly using simple voice commands - no coding required.
In a demo video, users conjured up a maze game, tweaking everything from scenery to game rules on the fly. Want grenades?
Just ask, and they appear.
Fancy a different setting? Say the word, and it changes.
While EA heralds this as the dawn of personalized gaming, not everyone's cheering.
Game designers and artists fear for their jobs, arguing that AI shouldn't replace human creativity.
Critics also poked fun at the demo's uninspired cardboard box maze, questioning EA's imagination.
This AI system spotlights a growing dilemma: How do we balance cutting-edge tech with preserving human artistry in gaming?
As the debate rages on, one thing's clear - the future of game creation could be as simple as speaking your mind.

Midjourney Office hours: They're working on a 3d system that will allow you to move into Midjourney images. Not polygons, not NeRF, not Gaussians. But a new NeRF-like format, with a team lead by someone who played an important part in the rollout of NeRF technology. Sorry polygons, but most Midjourney images already look better than most games today..
Agreed on the polygons.. they'll be a thing of the past in a few years I hope.
If the person leading the work on Midjourney's new 3d format isn't Alex Evans I'll be very disappointed ;-)
Take a look at this small video and consider that a very big part of the Dreams Graphics Engine was due to the work of Alex Evans.

- Engineer: I invented this new thing. I call it a ballpen 🖊️
- TwitterSphere: OMG, people could write horrible things with it, like misinformation, propaganda, hate speech. Ban it now!
- Writing Doomers: imagine if everyone can get a ballpen. This could destroy society. There should be a law against using ballpen to write hate speech. regulate ballpens now!
- Pencil industry mogul: yeah, ballpens are very dangerous. Unlike pencil writing which is erasable, ballpen writing stays forever. Government should require a license for pen manufacturers.

"Godfather of AI" Geoffrey Hinton now thinks there is a 1 in 10 chance everyone will be dead from AI in 5-20 years
Weeks ago, we learned that Yoshua Bengio, another Turing Award winner, thinks there's a 1 in 5 chance we all die.
Hinton is worried about AI hive minds: “Hinton realised that increasingly powerful AI models could act as “hive minds”, sharing what they learnt with each other, giving them a huge advantage over humans.”
“OpenAI’s latest model GPT-4 can learn language and exhibit empathy, reasoning and sarcasm."
“I am making a very strong claim that these models do understand,” he said in his lecture.
He predicts that the models might also “evolve” in dangerous ways, developing an intentionality to control. “If I were advising governments, I would say that there’s a 10% chance these things will wipe out humanity in the next 20 years. I think that would be a reasonable number,” he says.
“He was encouraged that the UK hosted an AI safety summit at Bletchley Park last year, stimulating an international policy debate. But since then, he says, the British government “has basically decided that profits come before safety”.
“He says he is heartened that a younger generation of computer scientists is taking existential risk seriously and suggests that 30% of AI researchers should be devoted to safety issues, compared with about 1% today.”
“We humans should make our best efforts to stay around.”
P(doom) roundup: what probability do people put on AI killing everyone?
- Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum): 10%
- Zvi Mowshowitz: 60%
- Elon Musk: 20-30%
- Scott Alexander: 20-25%
- Dario Amodei (CEO, Anthropic): 10-25%
- Jan Leike (Head of Alignment, OpenAI): 10-90%
- Geoffrey Hinton (Godfather of AI): 10%
- Paul Christiano (Former Head of Alignment at OpenAI, inventor of RLHF): 50%
- Lina Khan (FTC Chair): 15%
- Average AI engineer (Oct 2023): ~40%
- Average ML researcher (in spring 2022, before things got crazy): 10%
- Dan Hendrycks: recently updated from 20% to 80%
- Average AI alignment researcher: 30%
- Extinction tournament (median for AI experts): 20% chance of catastrophe, 6% chance of extinction
- Extinction tournament (median for non-AI experts): 9% chance of catastrophe, 1% chance of extinction
- BACA Research: 50%
- Scott Aaronson: 2%
- Conjecture AI researchers: 80%
- Eli Lifland: 35%
- Eliezer Yudkowsky: >95%
- Nate Soares: >95% (I think?)
- Holden Karnofsky: 50%
- Average American: 26%
Note: these are just a few I recall from memory and could easily find sources for.
What’s your p(doom)?
My take: I agree with @TheZvi - if your p(doom) is anywhere between 10-90%, it shouldn’t really change what you do, that’s plenty high to justify urgent action.
* Disclaimers: p(doom) usually means as “extinction or similarly bad outcome” but everyone defines it differently, some of these are old and may have changed, many people added various caveats and conditionals, etc.
Just squint and notice the general pattern: a few tech companies are playing Russian Roulette with humanity.
