"I’m hoping to make sure that superintelligence we are creating right now does not kill everyone."
"The last decade we actually figured out how to make artificial intelligence better. Turns out if you add more compute, more data, it just kind of becomes smarter. And so now, smartest people in the world, billions of dollars, all going to create the best possible super intelligence we can."
"Unfortunately, while we know how to make those systems much more capable, we don’t know how to make them safe, how to make sure they don’t do something we will regret. And that’s the state of the art right now."
"When we look at just prediction markets, how soon will we get to advanced AI? The timelines are very short. Couple of years, two, three years, according to prediction markets, according to CEOs of Top Labs. And at the same time, we don’t know how to make sure that those systems are aligned with our preferences."
"So we are creating this alien intelligence. If aliens were coming to Earth and you had three years to prepare, you would be panicking right now. But most people don’t even realize this is happening."
Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
