[Jas Eckard]

The next UCLUG meeting is next Tuesday, May 14, 18:30, where Ben
Francis will talk about AI Safety:

AI Safety: Zoom or Doom?

Superintelligent digital beings are almost here, and humans have
no idea what the future will look like after that event. Will we
benefit from exponential advances in technology, or will humanity play
second fiddle to a superior species?

Scary Smart, Mo Gawdat (2021)

Responding to the statement that the human brain is 3 times the size of a chimps: It doesn't matter. 3X always loses to a 1,000,000,000X.

Also, Jan Leike and Ilya Sutskover resigned from OpenAI today. They were working on safety and governance.
