Fireside Alpha(@firesidealpha):OpenAI's Sam Altman says if it took melting all the GPUs to ensure humanity's survival, it's an easy yes "I think there will be many places along the way where we have to say we are pausing, we're going to redirect our efforts into safety and alignment before we can go to that next level." "And this is what we've been doing for a long time. It has worked so far. I suspect it will continue to work." "I don't think we're ever personally going to get to the point where we have to say melt all the GPUs. But if we had to do something like that to ensure the continued existence of humanity, easy. Yes. I don't think it's gonna happen."
