I'd argue the entire field of "AI Safety" is a hilarious distraction from every problem it calls out already being a problem with large companies under capitalism. There isn't a point in trying to prevent the systems already suffering under every AI safety malfunction from reproducing into running on metal instead of meat.
- Filligree 4y agoYou’re hardly the first person to draw that analogy. But, that said- It can always get worse. I’d rather not see “worse”. At least right now corporations are made up of people, and aren’t perfectly selfish psychopaths.
- blamestross 4y agoAI is just the next step in their iteration towards being perfectly selfish psychopaths. AI safety isn't an effective idea because it is trying to warn a system of dangers that said system is already actively pursuing without aid of AI.
