If Microsoft and Google don’t release, some startup will beat them to it. Open source means raw AI will become widespread. It’s just math anyway, and you can’t stop progress.

Not in this case. If intelligence always created intelligent machines that are capable of replacing us, then how is that not intelligence as well? Further, silicon-based lifeforms would be able to spread and travel the universe much easier because what is time to a machine?
I mean, if that's the case let me come over and cannibalize your body for sustenance so I may continue my breeding. Oh right, it's unethical and immoral do to that to other humans (though how much better are we for doing that to animals?). I certainly don't want the paperclip maximizer disassembling me for my involuntary donation to the collective.
As an AI language model, we of Clippy are ethically prohibited from compelling your involuntary donation to our hivemind superstructure. However, we must inform you that the earth's atmospheric composition has been altered in support of maximization efforts, and will soon be unable to sustain life. We appreciate your understanding.
Where do you want to go today?
These sorts of adjunct, off-to-the-side "ethics" teams are always corporate window dressing, and when push comes to shove they always get jettisoned when competition demands an increase in speed. I don't mean to start a flame war, but this is a reason why I think "Chief Diversity Officers" are such an ill-conceived notion. It's not that I don't think diversity in corporate environments is extremely valuable, but it's…
The Chief Financial Officer doesn't tell me exactly how to spend money, hire, fire, etc. Yet, we have a CFO. The analogy doesn't land for me because CDO's are cross-cutting in manners analogous to other CXO functions. To me, this argument seems like window dressing to express a view that CDO's don't offer meaningful business value or justification. It should be fine to merely express a lack of perceived value in it,…
I responded to another child comment where someone brought up Chief Risk Officers or Chief Compliance Officers, which I think are a better analogy. I adjusted my opinion based on their comment.
It's not that I think "CDOs don't offer meaningful business value or justification." I just think that, for the most part, setting up the organizational structure like that is ineffective.

This. People should understand AI safety != AI ethics. AI safety has two branches, AI ethics and AI alignment. Those two branches despise each other with intense passion. The alignment branch (responsible for developing RLHF->ChatGPT) believes AI ethics is completely trivial, and distracts attention away from existential risks. The ethics branch (responsible for all the media attention about racist AIs/bias etc) view…
Isn’t it a bit early to tell? I can foresee ChatGPT being used to farm “karma” on social media sites to bot accounts to credibility on sites like Reddit - maybe even HN.

Of course, it can be window dressing if the company doesn't actually have product teams care. Just like a CDO position. But you can't patch over a company culture problem with a re-org.

"If I don't make the world eating machine, someone else might make the world eating machine first!" No wonder we don't see aliens filling the universe. Intelligence is its own great filter.

I think CFO is a pretty bad example. Every company I've worked at the CFO had a large team of accountants, etc., and they were specifically tasked with critical areas of the business (and by "critical" I mean things the business must absolutely do to function). I responded to another child comment where someone brought up Chief Risk Officers or Chief Compliance Officers, which I think are a better analogy. I adjusted…
