this AI safety stuff is just a rabbit hole of distraction, IMO. OpenAI will be better off without this crowd and just focus on building good products.

Ah yes, "focus on building good products" without safety. Except a "good product" is safe. Otherwise you're getting stuff like an infinite range plane powered by nuclear jet engine that has fallout for exhaust [1]. [1] IIRC, nuclear-powered cruise missiles were contemplated: their attack would have consisted on dropping bombs on their targets, then flying around in circles spreading radioactive fallout over the land.

    > Except a "good product" is safe. Depends on how you define "safe". The kind of "safe" we get from OpenAI today seems to be mostly censorship, I don't think we need more of that.

    what i'm saying is the safety risks of AI are over exaggerated to the point of comedy. it is no more dangerous than any other kind of software. there is an effort by AI-doomer groups to try and regulate/monopolize the technology, but fortunately it looks like open source has put a wrench in this.
