OpenAI founder Sam Altman claimed over the weekend that the world has officially entered the age of singularity, where artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence and begins to recursively improve itself. Altman compared advanced models to a 'genie' capable of granting any wish, clarifying that tech elites will determine what the first request will be. According to him, the goal is to allow more people to ask for whatever they want from the computer. Meanwhile, Elon Musk provided a detailed timeline: AI will surpass all human intelligence within about five years, and humans will lose control within a decade. Musk predicts an era of extraordinary abundance and said that even if there were a stop button, it probably wouldn't be worth pressing. The statements raise questions about the concentration of power in the hands of a few executives in Silicon Valley.
