Re: Licensing is neither feasible nor effective for addressing AI risks
#2"If we don't do it, the evil people will do it anyway" is not a good argument.
Military applications are a small subset and are unaffected by copyright issues. Applications can be trained in secrecy.
The copyright, plagiarism and unemployment issues are entirely disjoint from the national security issues. If North Korea trains a chat bot using material that is prohibited for training by a special license, so what? They already don't respect IP.

I for one, do not want to see this technology locked behind a chosen few corporations, whom have already long since lost my trust and respect.
I can almost 100% guarantee, with regulation, you'll see all the same loss of jobs and whatnot, but only the chosen few who are licensed will hold the technology. I'm old enough to have seen the interplay of corporations, the government, and regulatory capture, and see what that's done to the pocketbook of the middle class.
No. Thank. You.

Welcome to Moloch. Damned if we do, damned if we don't.

"Evil people" is a broader category than military opponents.

Why does it have to be NK? Why would adversaries respect IP in the first place? Makes zero sense. I would expect a rational actor to put out some PR about integrity and such, but otherwise, sounds like a narrative that should only appeal to naive children

Just to expand upon this further. I am also deeply frustrated that my application for API access to GPT4 appears to have been a whisper into the void, meanwhile Sam Altman's buddies or people with the Tech-Good-Ol-Boy connections have gotten a multi-month head-start on any commercial applications. That's not a fair and level playing field. Is that really what we want to cement in with regulation??

#8Sam Altman is either running for US government soon, or is looking for some post in the UN. just look up how many heads of government he has visited last month

#9As a species, we need to commit to the belief that a powerful enough AI can prevent/avoid/vanquish any and all zero-sum games between any two entities. Otherwise we commit to adversarial relationships, and plan to use and develop the most powerful technology against each other.

The economy is a national security issue though. If other countries take over the globalized economy due to leveraging ai, it is destructive. And, after all, the Soviet Union fell due to economic and spending related issues, not due to military maneuvers
