they make nothing open source, so I'm not sure why effective altruists would join it.
if they can't predict and contain the consequences of their own actions, how can they
predict and contain their so claimed future "AGI".
- bee_rider 3y agoIs there any reason to assume open source is a prerequisite for effective altruism? Open source doesn’t necessarily imply good for humanity, for example distributing open source designs for nukes would probably be a net negative. And even if it did, effective altruists wouldn’t need to prioritize the benefit provided by openness over all other possibilities.
- vacuity 3y agoI don't think relying on a proprietary license to make sure enemies can't get AI for nukes is a sane security model. Something else needs to give.
