I may be restating some of what has been said elsewhere, but I hope that this simplifies things a bit.
What I believe the grandparent said was we should slow-roll neural networks where they have severe consequences, as in, life and death.
I agree, slow-rolling the internet would have potentially affected adoption, but the stakes are lower than, say, a self-driving car going off the rails. In those cases, we should probably thoroughly understand how a car can be affected by adversarial attempts at "breaking the algo" before adopting it very widely.
In other words, I wouldn't slow roll the internet because of fears of adversarial behavior, but I would in the face of self-driving cars.
I hope that further discussion could describe how internet security is as life-and-death as self-driving cars, or to the contrary :)
- Dylan16807 10y agoWe don't have to be particularly worried about self-driving cars being confused by malicious physical actors. Such an actor could always do something like cut the brake lines instead.
- mholt 10y agoThat's easy to detect. A car with cut brake lines can choose not to drive. A car doesn't know when its neural net is being fooled.
