I’m worried that China will build said killing machines and that we’ll be unprepared.

China is currently a more morally virtuous country than the US.

They welded shut the doors to Uyghur Muslims and had a bunch of donated food for them stacked outside their homes in one giant pile that they couldn't get to. It either rotted away or was eaten by animals.

Believe me, China hasn't show its true face yet, but it will, just wait.

And while we are waiting, there're another few wars to be done.

Anybody who stays at openai is signing on to build machines that will be used to kill innocent people and control people who think that’s a bad idea.

That's fine. But they shouldn't be lecturing to anyone about "principles" or moral superiority and at the same time being either paid or holding RSUs as well, since that would make them completely dishonest themselves.

It just shows that they have done poor research about the company before joining (Meta is just as bad) and are in on the grift (joined OpenAI only after post-ChatGPT) and this employee does not believe what they are saying.

I'm worried that China will build said killing machines only because they see that we are and feel the need to be prepared.

This.

Everyone will do this, because everyone will believe that everyone will do this.

Even worse, there really is no guarantee that the great powers will create the best terminators. Everyone talks about China and the US. (And we should.) At the same time however, we should all keep in mind that nations from India and Indonesia, to North and South Korea will not be simply sitting on their hands while the US and China forge ahead.

A future where 4 million dollar American or Chinese terminators are easily overwhelmed by thousands and thousands of 5 dollar Indian autonomous devices is not at all outside the realm of future possibilities.

That's what makes it all so concerning. We can kind of see where it leads in terms of enhanced capability potential for non-state actors, but we can't really see a way to avoid that future.

while you are worried about China, USI have done a genocide and started a new war.

And the U.S./Thiel/Musk are trying to start an AI-powered nuclear war next: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Dome_(missile_defense_syst...

That twitter post was clearly written by AI along with the instructions for the AI to avoid "tells" and other tropes common to AI. Absolutely nothing wrong with something written with AI. Just pointing it out.

and you say this based on?

The way everyone else can tell. My instincts. AI has a flavor.

But was it written with an OpenAI AI?

Must've been.

if that's the case, ai failed to remove the negative parallel construction (my current top ai smell aside from slanted inverted commas). what signs are there of this being ai asked not to sound like ai?

Right, that's the sign. Ai often fails to do what it's told. So that's the sign of it asked to not sound like an AI. I told AI to do this for my current post as well.

Maybe the true face of China so far is that it hasn't shown its true face. While the true face of the US is what it has shown again and again.

The myth of american moral superiority had been dead for a while. Why would china be any more evil than the US, which has waged far more colonialist wars and killed far more foreign lives in recent times (look at the news today for inspiration)

Uighur concentration camps? Falun Gong organ harvesting?
