Why Not Slow AI Progress?
- eimrine 4y ago> But maybe glare a little at your friend who goes into AI capabilities research, instead of getting excited about how cool their new project is. I am this kind of guy and I consider ASI as good for human's culture. Maybe not for humans itself but I consider a culture (STEM) as an ultimate goodness while humans will destroy themselves anyway (global heating, nuclear wars, regular wars, wanting to burn more and more fossil fuels etc) > Or agitate for government regulation of AI - either because you trust the government to regulate wisely, or because you at least expect them to come up with burdensome rules that hamstring the industry. What to do if I don't believe neither former nor latter? > While there are salient examples of government regulatory failure, some regulations - like the EU’s ban on GMO or the US restrictions on nuclear power - have effectively stopped their respective industries. If you consider these bans as good then let me consider you as not a wise person.
