He says take a chill pill, we\u2019ve got at least 10\u201320 more years before the AI apocalypse. But hang on\u2026his company just whipped up the world\u2019s 2nd biggest AI <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomshardware.com\/news\/startup-builds-supercomputer-with-22000-nvidias-h100-compute-gpus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">supercomputer<\/a>! It\u2019s cruising with 3X the horsepower of GPT-4, the chatbot with reading skills rivaling a university professor. So something tells me Suleyman\u2019s timeline is slower than your grandma driving without her glasses.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, OpenAI is broadcasting a very different arrival time. They believe superintelligence could show up within just 4 years! To get ready, they\u2019ve launched an AI <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/blog\/introducing-superalignment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">safety<\/a> SWAT team, led by brainiacs like Ilya Sutskever. They\u2019re funneling millions into this initiative with a strict 2027 deadline. Why so urgent? Well, they say superintelligence could either catapult humanity into a sci-fi future utopia, or permanently reduce us to drooling toddlers. Not great options there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buckle up, because we\u2019re entering the era of thinking machines that make humans look like chattering chimps!
