Smar intelligent without saying absolutely anything

Sam Altman was interviewed a few days ago by his brother Jack on the YouTube channel of this. And there is a moment of the interview in which Sam says “I think we have deciphered the reasoning in the models. We have a long way to go, but I think we know what to do.”

Jack asks him why he believes it, and Sam says that “O3 is already quite intelligent”, and that he has heard people say “fuck, this is like a good doctorate.”

That is all the explanation that the man who supposedly leads the race gives for create superintelligence.

Ed Zitron has put it to give birth in Your last analysisbut there is something more interesting and general: the CEOs of the great technology They have developed a way of speaking that sounds intelligent but says absolutely nothing. And it is very widespread.

When Pichai He says “I think AI will be somewhat bigger than the Internet” Without explaining how or why, without giving details, it is not inaccurate because. It is deliberately incomprehensible so that no one can catch him by lying.

The pattern is usually repeated. When Satya Nadella is asked how Microsoft is going to reach 130,000 million in revenues for AI, Your answer It is “if we are going to have this explosion, abundance, whatever, of intelligence products available, the first thing we have to observe is the growth of GDP.”

Satya Nadella It’s a top CEObut That answer is pure straw. He does not answer the question, but he sounds technical enough so that no one dares to interrupt him and ask him “hey, what the hell does that mean.”

The media have created an ecosystem among all where it seems that it is forbidden to say “apologize but I do not understand” a technological CEO.

And in the end, their products reflect that incoherence in one way or another. Chatgpt Answers are invented with the same forcefulness with which he replies that two plus two are four. Google is increasingly ambiguous. Microsoft products They harass you to use their AI When you just want to write without discomfort.

Palma Phil Schiller takes, not CEO but an old Apple manager, when in 2017 he was asked about the Mac Mini, who had not updated and without any gesture of love or advertising campaign any. His answer was anthological: “The Mac Mini remains a product of our catalog.”

And that’s it.

They are CEOs who often have a hard time explaining their vision and their road map, but accumulate immense power and capital. Sometimes, that disability is a deliberate armor. In others, pure talk.

While journalists in front of them continue to treat them as incontestable geniuses, without legitimacy to question their ambiguas when you do not empty, we will continue without receiving convincing explanations as users. Because nobody requires them to give them.
