Another kind of probability of doom has much higher values

Last update: Saturday 6/29/24

Wikipedia defines the value p(doom) as "the probability of catastrophic outcomes (or "doom") as a result of artificial intelligence. The exact outcomes in question differ from one prediction to another, but generally allude to the existential risk from artificial general intelligence."

Many tech-savvy folk assign small, but non-zero p(doom) values to the possibility that our pursuit of AGI might result in the extermination of the human race by an AGI that developed goals that were not aligned with the needs of humanity.

Happy New Year!!! Top AI stories of 2023 ... TL;DR 9Jan24

Last update: Friday 1/12/24 

Happy New Year!!! ... And welcome to our TL;DR summary about the top AI stories that were posted on our "Useful AI News" page in 2023. We selected the stories that we thought will prove to be the most useful for predicting what the top AI stories will be in 2024.

Our first top story is OpenAI's movement of ChatGPT to its new GPT-4 model in March 2023, a move that led to ChatGPT's domination of the AI news sector for the rest of the year. Our second top story is about the most significant Big Tech challenges to OpenAI's supremacy in the final weeks of 2023, i.e., challenges from Amazon, Google, and Microsoft ... yes, Microsoft.

These top stories framed our prediction of the top stories for 2024. Spoiler alert, here's our prediction: Whereas large language models (LLMs) dominated AI news throughout 2023, the rapid and widespread proliferation of small language models (SLMs) will be the dominant AI news stories throughout 2024.
