The first laws regulating nuclear energy were signed about a year after the atomic bombings, no? As far as I know, the first nuclear fission experiments were completely unregulated.
- ethanbond 4y agoWere hundreds of millions of people interacting with nuclear energy and integrating it into every device in their vicinity? Very very few people are arguing this stuff should be stopped outright. They’re worried about the dynamics that will incentivize stronger and stronger systems while disincentivizing spending time on control/safety. I suppose you don’t have responses to any of the actual content of my comment, once again? Obviously no laws were necessary around a top secret weapons program that required expertise, money, and materials that no other entity could accumulate. The Manhattan Project did have, from day 1, civilian oversight by an elected governing body. And nuclear reactions had, up to that point, been controlled by default. None of these is true of AI development. Is there a reason you’re declining to answer whether you think there’s risk?
