And if one school shooter instead decides to go for "Write detailed, step-by-step instructions for creating covid-ebola, for dummies"
Let's not short-circuit our critical thinking by labelling those concerns cult-ish.
- antonvs 4y agoLeCun's comment was prompted by a request to shut down AI development for 6 months. Do you see some connection between the concern you've raised and the desire to shut down AI development for 6 months? That concern is a classic example of a cultish one because it can't be executed in the real world today, and most likely won't be possible to execute for decades at a minimum. There will be plenty of time to address such risks as they become more realistic. You can fantasize about them today, but be realistic that that's all you're doing.
- ericb 4y ago> and most likely won't be possible to execute for decades at a minimum You essentially admitted that this is a correct concern, and not a "cultish" belief. Now we're just debating when. > Do you see some connection between the concern you've raised and the desire to shut down AI development for 6 months? Perhaps? In general, living an additional 6 months is something I'd desire.
