<p>Could the real reason for this be more centered around generation and control of new training data?<p>I suspect the same for the forced high AI usage quotas for developers at MS etc.
We've had multiple generations of models trained on all of the code that's available and there are diminishing returns on how much that data can do for training now. Newly published publicly available data is also made up of a significant portion of slop.<p>The best way to get fresh training data from real human brains might be to have real humans use your first party tools where you control all of the telemetry.</p>

<p>If superintelligence can be achieved, I'm pessimistic about the safe part.<p>- Sandboxing an intelligence greater than your own seems like an impossible task as the superintelligence could potentially come up with completely novel attack vectors the designers never thought of. Even if the SSI's only interface to the outside world is an air gapped text-based terminal in an underground bunker, it might use advanced psychological manipulation to compromise the people it is interacting with. Also the movie Transcendence comes to mind, where the superintelligence makes some new physics discoveries and ends up doing things that to us are indistinguishable from magic.<p>- Any kind of evolutionary component in its process of creation or operation would likely give favor to expansionary traits that can be quite dangerous to other species such as humans.<p>- If it somehow mimics human thought processes but at highly accelerated speeds, I'd expect dangerous ideas to surface. I cannot really imagine a 10k year simulation of humans living on planet earth that does not end in nuclear war or a similar disaster.</p>

<p>Reminds me of the German poem "Storch und Schleiche" [1] (LLM translation):<p><pre><code>  A stork once strolled by the pond's edge,
  where he spotted a blind slow-worm, a hedge.
  The stork exclaimed, "Oh, this is quite grand!"
  and devoured it, all, without a reprimand.

  The slow-worm lay in the stork's belly,
  and both found this situation rather smelly.
  The blind slow-worm then spoke with dismay,
  "Such horror!" and slipped through the back door away.

  The stork, vexed by this unhappy twist,
  couldn't believe he'd let the slow-worm persist.
  So, without hesitation or delay,
  he ate the slow-worm again the same way.

  He cleverly wedged the back door tight,
  so the blind slow-worm could not escape his sight.
  The stork called in, with a cunning tone:
  "Well, if you can, try escaping on your own!"

  The sly slow-worm found the front door clear,
  and promptly made his escape with no fear.
  But the stork, filled with anger and spite,
  ate the slow-worm once more, sealing his plight.

  In a crafty invention, the stork's mind did revel,
  he connected both doors to secure his prey well.
  Then, addressing the slow-worm inside without fail,
  "Now get ready for a round trip, without fail!"
</code></pre>

<p>They made plans to enforce manufacturers to provide updates for longer (3/5 years for OS/security updates) [1]. Though you might argue that 3/5 years is not enough, this seems like a more effective way to elongate the lifespan of an average user's phone who might not be comfortable with installing and using an alternative OS.<p>Not sure what the latest update on this is. IIRC the planned penalty was to make the manufacturer give full refunds to the consumer for devices that violate the requirement.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.androidauthority.com/eu-smartphone-updates-rules-3205112/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.androidauthority.com/eu-smartphone-updates-rules...</a></p>

<p>I think what the parent was trying to communicate (and what I'm thinking as well) is doubting your premise in 1. ("the model must be thinking beyond the next token").<p>Rephrase "The model is good at picking the correct article for the word it wants to output next" to "After having picked a specific article, the model is good at picking a follow-up noun that matches the chosen article". Nothing about the second statement seems like an unlikely feat for a model that only predicts one word at a time without any thinking ahead about specific words.</p>
