| More Articles | Free Reports | Premium Services Saturday Round Up Hello, Fellow Navigator. “Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” No, I’m not talking about the atomic bomb. I’m talking about letting go of fears and putting faith in… the divine… the fates… whatever of your choosing. While credited to J. Robert Oppenheimer, those words are originally from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita, where the god Vishnu utters them while convincing the Prince to embrace his duty and multi-armed form. Today, those famous words are taking on new meaning thanks to some OpenAI whistleblowers: the “destroyer of worlds” could now be bits and bytes. In other words, unchecked AI integration is dangerous. Now, it’s probably too dramatic to claim AI will literally end the world. But it absolutely will change it. And therein lies the rub: humanity doesn’t like change… especially the kind that’s fast enough to notice in a lifetime. Case in point: A group of current and former OpenAI employees recently sounded their alarm in an open letter calling out the company. They’re accusing OpenAI of prioritizing profits over safety protocols for their artificial general intelligence (AGI) project. (Let’s be clear, there’s nothing wrong with prioritizing profits… it’s how companies survive and reward their investors… but some level of responsibility is necessary). AGI is a computer program theoretically capable of human-level intelligence across all tasks. It was slated for arrival around 2050, but according to the whistleblowers, there’s now a 50% chance it will arrive within just three years. That accelerated timeline has them spooked about the potential havoc of an insufficiently governed, human-level AI release. We’re less spooked (frankly, not phased at all) because technological breakthroughs and industry disruptions are the hotbeds of investment opportunities… they lead to greatly improved standards of living… they’re the essence of humanity. It’s interesting to hear the concerns of AI whistleblowers. Queen Elizabeth I wouldn’t patent the automatic stocking knitter back in the day because she feared what it would do to the livelihoods of women who knit stockings by hand. Yet here we are today… cheap clothing easily accessible… and profitable investment opportunities in garment makers and the retailers who sell them. Like Charles said yesterday, the trick is to know which opportunities are the best. That’s where The Freeport Society comes in. It’s where our Freeport friend Luke Lango becomes an invaluable ally… particularly with his latest discovery that could break into mainstream consciousness come Monday. Watch this video for the details. Then come back to see what else we talked about this week… |
