Artificial intelligence technologies continue to become widespread and are appearing in every aspect of our lives. While many people find this development beneficial for the progress of humanity, others consider it dangerous. However, it seems that the latter group is justified. This is because OpenAI employees, who recently resigned from their positions, warned about a “powerful artificial intelligence discovery that could threaten humanity” sparking concerns and discussions. Here ate the details…

OpenAI reportedly made a potentially scary AI breakthrough

OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, has just concluded a highly eventful week. Initially, the company’s CEO was ousted by the board of directors but was reinstated after pressure. Right after that, CEO Sam Altman made changes to the board. Many of us struggled to make sense of these chaotic power plays and tried to understand what was unfolding. It turns out that one of the reasons behind the scandal was a discovery that could potentially bring about the end of humanity.

OpenAI AI

As you may know, OpenAI is working on various artificial intelligence models. Two of these, GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, are currently available. However, there’s another AI model that the company has named Q. What sets Q apart is that it’s not your typical AI like ChatGPT or Bard that we’re accustomed to. According to claims, Q is a technology straight out of science fiction films, capable of performing highly complex tasks.

Some employees believe that Q represents an advanced technology at a dangerously intelligent level. According to them, this AI could become too intelligent and potentially pose harm to humans. In fact, some employees became so concerned about this discovery and the CEO’s behavior that they brought the matter to the attention of the board of directors. After discussions with Sam Altman, the board members, citing the CEO’s failure to take the danger seriously, decided to dismiss him.

Of course, all of this is currently based on rumors. However, the company’s reluctance to comment on the matter only adds to the suspicions. The exact workings of Q and why it instills so much fear are still unclear. One thing is certain, though: the science fiction disasters we enjoy watching are just a step away from becoming a reality.
