I think this is one of the upsides of the chaos at OpenAI recently. It has really shined a light on how many of the people most fervently obsessed with "safe-AI" really aren't clearheaded or rational thinkers and are prone to making many disastrous and ill-advised decisions as anyone else. This is good because there is an unfortunate human tick where pessimism/cynicism is equated with wisdom while optimism is equated with naivety.
But when the pessimists and cynics show so clearly on such a large scale that they aren't uniformly wise or competent, it will allow more levelheaded perspectives towards LLMs and a more general cautious optimism be the guiding philosophy around developing these tools.

- TapWaterBandit 3y agoPossibly but I am more concerned with how doomers are viewed by the public. Doomers gonna doom, but if the public don't take them seriously then they are irrelevant. If they want to stick to their "the end is nigh!" shtick it doesn't really bother me.
- addicted 3y agoThere’s very little to learn from the chaos least of all because we don’t even know what actually happened. It’s a bit ridiculous to say one should change their entire worldview about a potentially world changing technology based on innuendo and rumors.
