You are attributing naivety on a technical matter to many people who have done world class research and some of them are even a pioneer of their subfield of study.
To do that level of research, one needs strong independent thinking skills and deep technical expertise. We have plenty of evidence on this very site how hard it is to influence technical people and change their opinion.
- nico 3y agoNot attributing anything, just pointing out an alternative explanation to the one that it is given in the comment that it is responding to However, you seem to be attributing super-human capabilities to a whole group of people for some reason
- nopinsight 3y agoOne does not need to be have super-human capabilities to foresee potential risks of the technology one is an expert in. Yes, the current version of AI is not capable of large scale harm by itself yet, but the plausible trajectory is worth warning about. Gordon Moore did make fairly accurate predictions after all.
- nico 3y ago> One does not need to be have super-human capabilities to foresee potential risks of the technology one is an expert in You are right. And no one is arguing the contrary We can all see the risks The thing is, what do we do about it Regulating AI will only serve to help the big players and keep others out
