It's nothing more than a shakedown, selling us the solution to a problem you caused yourself. The mafia has become such a shadow of itself we've forgotten what a protection racket looks like. If AI is so dangerous, OpenAI should be dissolved and anybody else practicing the dark arts should meet a similar fate. When you create threats to public order, you should be jailed, not rewarded with security consulting contracts. Only in this goddamn clown world do we consider trusting disciples of Voldemort to police their own behavior. We trusted Hitler to do exactly that and it ended predictably. He, too, claimed to espouse progressive morality and attempted to codify it. AI is either dangerous or it's not. For every "how do i build a pipe bomb" question asked, authorities are equally empowered to counter it with "...now how do we protect the public against that?" The double-edged sword cuts both ways.
