Don't get me wrong, I think ChatGPT/LLMs are great! And there's definitely recognition by everyone that the technology could enable a lot of amazing things. No one denies it's happening now or disputes it will happen more in the future.
The big question is if at some point it becomes dangerous, potentially extinction-level dangerous.
> The thing that annoys me particularly is the way we only ever care if and when it starts to threaten the dominant power structure.
No idea what you mean. The AI risk community has been worried about this risk for many years, I don't think it has anything to do with power structures. But I could be misunderstanding you.
> As for me, well I, for one, welcome our LLM overlords.
I mean, do you really?
If you take the safety issue seriously, then the risk we're talking about is the end of humanity. I don't welcome that and don't think there's much to debate about if the end of humanity isn't a dealbreaker for you.
Whether or not that's a real risk is valid to debate of course.
