Why Not Slow AI Progress?
- nradov 4y agoWhat a silly article. The rate of progress toward a true artificial general intelligence (superintelligence) has been zero so far. How do you go slower than motionless? There is no scientific evidence that the approaches being pursued by OpenAI and other research organizations are getting us closer to AGI. Those who believe otherwise are essentially practicing a secular religion and making statements based on faith. "Surely the AGI will come quickly. Amen." But regardless of AGI speculation, there may be some legitimate social reasons to limit the use of certain specific AI technologies where those are used for fraud, or privacy violation, or as weapons.
