A person who is building the strongest AI in humanity,
OpenAI core engineer Weng Jiayi:
Human beings do not have free will, and their personal destiny has long been predetermined.
Weng Jiayi is a Chinese and one of the key figures behind GPT-3.5 to GPT-5, who built the entire post training reinforcement learning infrastructure.
Simply put, ChatGPT is able to converse like a human and is a core contributor.
This is the kind of person who is a complete fatalist.
I finally listened to the podcast from a week ago intermittently,
The last 15 minutes of the conversation, I listened to it several times in the evening:
All personal choices can be predicted. I have verified them countless times
The thought that is currently flashing through your mind,
The next second the words blurt out,
Tomorrow's thoughtful life decision,
Even now you can see my tweet from Wanwan,
Actually, everything was written before you were born, even at the moment of the Big Bang.
The host asked: Since everything is predetermined, why are you still working hard? Isn't lying flat the same as reaching the finish line?
He said, 'My choice to work hard is also predetermined.'.
The host asked: How do you live?
He said, forget it. Pretend not to know.
Believe firmly that Sisyphus is happy
His way of coping with this cognition is selective amnesia.
I am also a believer in determinism, and I always thought it was because my emotional thinking was too heavy.
I didn't expect that the most rational brain in the world, after deduction, would also stand at the same endpoint.
God really doesn't roll dice.
