Why do we need to regulate ai?
[flagged]
Is Sam Altman the answer to regulating AI? If yes, why?
Sam Altman is as much the answer to regulating AI as SBF was the answer to regulating crypto.
Yeah. Walking into Congress and agreeing with every barb thrown his way is a red flag to me. OpenAI has made AI fear mongering a central plank in their marketing platform. I think their goal is to convince the government to build a regulatory moat around their business. Why? Because they see the writing on the wall. There’s no network effect here. Anyone can build AI. There are thousands of students going into grad s…

The chat bots might be allowed to say bad words.
AI systems mis-identifying people and getting them arrested - minor problem. Systems firing people for underperforming - that's just a company exercising its right to enforce "at-will employment". Chatbots designed to make it difficult or impossible to cancel a service - almost standard. Announcing a hiring freeze while jobs are replaced with AI systems - that's productivity.
But a system that will answer "Rank races by intelligence" gets people very upset.

Isn't it also possible that Sam is being genuine about his concerns and his statements because he wants what is best for humanity?
aw heck, let's go so far as to say anyone willing to testify if front of congress primarily does so because they want to protect the best interests of others.
Would be a fucking swell world to live in.

Outside of self driving cars (which imo can and should be regulated by the ntsa), the thing that has never killed zero people probably shouldn't be regulated by the thing that has killed... a lot more than that until there's a clear and obvious safety concern with something specific within the "AI" category of technology (would love if we de-scifi'd this and called it machine learning but I'm picking my battles here)…

SBF's biggest problem was that he got caught (and became famous) before he could do the work necessary to clean things up. There's tons of grey/hinky stuff that goes on inside companies starting up. These companies either die, get acquired, or professionals are brought in to clean it up before it goes public. FWIW I think Sam is an honest actor here though. No real funny business with OpenAI.
I don't think this is the same story, life is more complicated than that, but I don't see why I should blindly trust Altman because he seems like a good guy.
