In Light of AI Risk, Leo Should Consider Releasing Part of the Course Early

10 posts in this topic

There are many indications that Artificial General Intelligence could only be a few years away, and theoretically Super-intelligence would follow soon after.  This could radically change and threaten the world in ways that are difficult to predict. GPT-5 is expected to release in December of this year, with GPT-6 following sometime next year.  Both will be huge steps closer to AGI.  
 

It occurred to me that this is around the same time that Leo said his Psychedelic Awakening course would release.  My concern is that things could be so chaotic in the world around this time that there wouldn’t be enough time or stability for us to implement the teachings.

I understand that creating an entire course, especially on such an advanced, original topic, requires a huge amount of time and work.  My proposal though, is that if the beginning of the course was ready a few months early, the course could be split into 2 parts, giving us more time to implement the teachings while things are still stable in the world.

Of course, there is disagreement on the AI issue.  It’s possible that AGI could still be 10 or more years away, in which case, this post is irrelevant.  However, I think the risk of this all happening very soon should still be taken seriously.  An open letter calling for an immediate pause on all AI research recently got over a thousand expert signatures:

Of course it matters. You matter :x

But in all seriousness, the course will come out in God’s time, just like it did for GPT.

Completely fallacious statement. 

You need to reflect on how your algorithmic life brought you to this belief. 

Now, I only said that because I wanted to. Very special.

If I could release it tomorrow, I would. But I have to create it before it can be released.

And just uploading that much video to Vimeo will take me over a month.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

@Leo Gura Got it, no worries.  This news has just made me take my mortality a lot more seriously.  But I’m already planning on making this year my most productive ever with currently available resources.

I think the motto of Emperor Augustus is especially relevant at this time:

Festina Lente, Hurry Slowly

@StarStruck Indeed. Only I am God's special snowflake.
