Edit: The more risky AI experiments you’re referring too, and the people leading them and thinking they’re ushering in the transhuman era should be doing these experiments on Mars, or in a space station or on the moon or something. These companies who plan to take more risks in the future shouldn’t be risking everyone else’s safety. I’m a little bit tired of the “oh we don’t know when we’re going to destroy civilisation with a paper clip optimizer, could be soon or in twenty years, who knows?”. How about we go do our risky experiments on another planet and if the experiment works out well. Great. Personally I’m also not interested in if Russia or China are doing AI research too. We should be leading by example, not solely by economics or strange ideaology. Regarding Microsoft / Open AI, they’ve stolen basically everyone’s work that was public facing, and I’d go as far to say taken all of the open source work, tax payer funded research and everything else and put a price tag on selling it back to the world while endangering many peoples careers all in the name of “safety”, it’s already unsafe. If we let MS and OpenAI get away with mass IP theft then we are actually stupid.
