The model, called Q* – and pronounced as “Q-Star” – was able to solve basic maths problems it had not seen before, according to the tech news site the Information, which added that the pace of development behind the system had alarmed some safety researchers.
Sound like a load of bullocks to me. How would anybody working in AI be “alarmed” by a model solving basic maths problems?
If the rumor is true presumably the thinking is “my proof of concept neural network learned basic math problems. When I scale it up and refine the concept it will be smarter than I am.”
The researcher could have believed this even if it isn’t true.

“Don’t look at what was happening over here… nothing to see here except how good we are at AI.”
