AI weapons are terrifying. We should probably ban them for use on us soil. But is it ethical to use something elsewhere that’s so terrifying we would never want it used on us? (Any ethicists would answer “no”). Then the question is will someone else build AI weapons? Obviously yes. Then we have to ask is it sensible to avoid building AI weapons if someone else is doing it. Probably not. It’s a delicate and difficult problem. One we should probably get to work on. The economic disruption of AI will in some ways be more catastrophic. We should probably get to work on that too. Some interesting solutions have been proposed. https://moores.samaltman.com/ https://moores.samaltman.com/
