There's no putting this genie back in the bottle. No way no how, don't even try.
Concentration of power is the real issue here. This tech can either work for all of us, or just the above-the-law class.
Making such tech illegal, as you seem to be sort-of advocating for, would just lead to more concentration of power.
So from my perspective, the people working on this openly are doing an incredible service by making it more equally available and equitable.
Finally, think of the real potential of this tech - it isn't just a bomb. It can be a teacher's aide on a global scale; a great leveler; an explosion in creative capability something like the Cambrian Explosion.
- matthewdgreen 4y agoI do wonder what human existence looks like in a world where all meaningful intellectual tasks are handled better by AI. I don’t think we’re at that world yet, but it sure seems like a depressing place to be. I worry about this even in a future where we pursue the post-scarcity path and don’t turn it into an excuse for a new form of serfdom, which we surely will attempt to do.
