If we cared about AI safety we simply would not develop it in the first place.

- Fricken 2y agoI hope you're not trying to cite those things as examples of stuff we've built out responsibly.
- takinola 2y agoIf you had a button that would erase cars, airplanes or medical devices as they exist today, would you push it? I believe these inventions are very net positive for the world as they are right now.
- timschmidt 2y agoA hundred years ago, in Michigan the home of the automobile, we had an extensive electric light rail network between most cities of at least a few thousand people. You could walk to a trolley which ran every 15 minutes, ride it to a local interchange, and pick up a connecting line to any major city in the region. Unfathomable what it would cost to rebuild that infrastructure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_streetcar_conspiracy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_streetcar_consp...
