the loons are at it again
A Right to Warn about Advanced Artificial Intelligence
this time in open letter format! that'll sure do it!
there are "risks", which they are definite about - the risks are not hypothetical, the risks are real! it's totes even had some acknowledgement in other places! totes real defs for sure this time guize
Unprecedented benefits to humanity?
I mean you're competing against bicycles, campfires, bagel slicers, minestrone, electric toothbrushes, and the Sega Saturn; so that's a pretty high bar buster!
These risks range from the further entrenchment of existing inequalities to manipulation and misinformation to the loss of control of autonomous AI systems potentially resulting in human extinction
Two of these things are happening today. Hint: they're the ones that AI people give lip service to before going back to role-playing about acasual basilisks and paperclips and digital clones and whether the ability to auto-respond to auto-generated emails is worth the P(doom) risk.
Great way to turn what might have otherwise been a petition based in reality into a joke I guess.
