Your first paragraph is exactly how I feel about nuclear weapons, to put it into context. I don’t think the logical conclusion from that viewpoint is that nuclear weapons aren’t that dangerous so we should just move ahead.
- pfdietz 3y agoI don't think nuclear weapons are the kind of existential risk that AI doomsters imagine for AI.
- thrill 3y agoOther than those that have called for nuking AI datacenters.
- pfdietz 3y agoThat presumably demonstrates they think nuclear war is less dangerous than AI.
- PoignardAzur 3y agoI feel obligated to point out that nobody has argued for nuking datacenters; the most radical AI existential-safety advocates have argued for is "have a ban on advanced training programs, enforced with escalating measures from economic sanctions and embargos to, yes, war and bombing datacenters". Not that anybody is optimistic on that idea working.
- Vegenoid 3y agoI think it has been empirically demonstrated that lapses in regards to the control and use of nuclear weapons can occur without the destruction of humanity. (I am not an AI doomer, nor do I feel that nuclear weapons are not dangerous/should be less controlled)
- strbean 3y agoThe difference is that it is somewhat feasible to control access to the materials necessary to produce nuclear weapons. It is not remotely feasible to control access to computing devices.
