    1. Maybe one of these quitting safety researchers should give concrete examples instead of leaving us with a vague “Danger, Will Robinson” message that’s for most purposes equivalent to the same “you should fear AI” messages that basically all the big AI companies have been pushing (presumably to encourage people to overestimate actual AI capabilities).

      Edit: I know that NDAs exist. My core point is that if they can’t do more than make vague allegations, their statements are worth less than nothing.

      I hate these AI assholes. The world had always been in danger. The main difference now is that this asshole is middle aged and is physiologically grappling with his own mortality.

      Prob the best they can do given the vast power of these new super corporations running our governments

      I’m trying to work in AI safety and have been joining groups and classes and applying for fellowships. Even these people aren’t worried about these short term effects, they want to focus on the cool future problems.

      PLEASE. Write your representatives. Go to town halls. Demand they bubble up your concerns. The government has to act, because no one else cares what happens to you during the transition to the future. This is a group of people who have specialized in seeing the world as math, and that has consequences. Some people are a rounding error on the path to divinity, and who knows if you’re in that group or not.

      There are absolutely people in the industry that are okay remaking the world into some libertarian utopia, or at least don’t care enough to stop playing with their toys.

      Sometimes I wonder if this guys that cry wolf but then provide zero details about what is it that we should fear are indeed trying to keep the hype.

      Like saying that it is important that we fear this new and disrruptive technology otherwise people will notice that they aren’t even close to AGI and the bubble is actually about to burst in all of our faces.

      In his public resignation letter he starts off “I accomplished what I came here to do…

      Cool cool

      Has so-called AI progressed beyond sophisticated google searches and nifty image generation? What are they talking about?

      The shameless talk of inevitability. Yeah, any tool can be used by evil people to do evil things. Are they trying to make us complacent about the fact that evil people run these companies, and they just can’t help themselves?

      Do we need him to be specific? AI will be used by world governments to control what information and facts you see. It’s already being used to destroy our ability to communicate with one another by diluting real human thought on the Internet with an infinite amount of instantly produced slop. Our opinions are being shaped by a deluge of fake people. It’s going to be impossible to tell fact from fiction because of AI video, images, books, bot accounts, etc

      That’s the real worth of AI. That’s why these techno fascists are pouring the entire GDP of several countries into it. It’s not productivity or to do anything to help any of us. They’re going to make us more isolated and stupider than ever for better control

      Edit: the article is also like two tiny paragraphs long and he specifically says it’s because these companies don’t give a fuck about safety

      Yeah, we are all aware of this already. You don’t have to be an expert or insider

      High chance that the world is in peril because AI can give knowledge on things like bioterrorism, power grids, or bombs, without safety mechanisms. Although this headline is going to make everyone think AGI.

    11. Stop stealing OpenAI’s business model of „researchers“ quitting because their „AI“ is too „advanced“ and will destroy the world.
