Re: OpenAI No Longer Takes Safety Seriously
#2What is the actual threat of AI?
Job loss? Tech already did that, the little old ladies that opened your envelope at sears and roebuck got replace by computers a long time ago...
Deepfakes? Are we talking the moon landing? Avengers movies?
AGI taking over the world? Does no one realize that without people going out every day and doing work the world ends in a week... Does no one remember when we had the spate of transformer shootings? A rifle or a bucket of water ends AGI threats.
Where is the threat from ML that doesn't already exist and is an ACTUAL threat to 8billion of us?

The risk is in losing control of the narrative. That's all the top brass actually cares about. As you mentioned we already have deepfakes, spam, etc. and the world hasn't imploded.

You might enjoy this article (https://aisafety.dance/)
the section: "No, AI Safety isn't a fringe concern by sci-fi weebs"
> AI Safety / AI Risk used to be less mainstream, but now in 2024, the US & UK governments now have AI Safety-specific departments![10]10 This resulted from many of the top AI researchers raising alarm bells about it. These folks include: > Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio > Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig > Paul Christiano
> I'm aware "look at these experts" is an appeal to authority, but this is only to counter the idea of, "eh, only sci-fi weebs fear AI Risk". But in the end, appeal to authority/weebs isn't enough; you have to actually understand the dang thing. (Which you are doing, by reading this! So thank you.)

I think the biggest threat is that LLMs will bore us to death with their lengthy never ending blabbering

Slightly longer term, I think the real threat is from synthetic biology + AI.

The risk is AI laundering the rest of America’s middle class wealth to the 1% resulting in falling healthcare outcomes, education outcomes, and life expectancies, and much worse working conditions for all industries.
We’ve seen a huge shift of wealth in the last twenty years in no small part passing through and at the insistence of Venture Capital and Private Equity. AI will be used to again accelerate this with more layoffs more outsourcing and lower quality services captured.

The threat basically boils down to runaway destructive swarms which destroy infrastructure or poison the atmosphere etc.
Imagine an AI agent which manipulates exposed SCADA systems. That could be incredibly destructive!
