3 panel comic
Panel 1: Red Guy in t-shirt is sitting at a desk being interviewed. He says “AI is going to kill us all”
Panel 2: Interviewer looking directly into camera, says “Well, we’ve heard from the anti-Ai guy. Now let’s hear from the CEO of AI
Panel 3: Wide shot revealing the second interviewee looking slightly confused. He says “I’m the Anti-AI guy”
The AI CEOs are experts at creating criti-hype.
“Our product is so dangerous that you need us to keep you safe from it”
“Our product is so capable it could outsmart every human being trying to stop it! Hey by the way, you want to replace your workers with our chatbot?”
I don’t think a lot of these AI CEOs even believe it themselves. They just know that getting everyone to scream “It’s so powerful it could kill us all (without us in control)” is great for making business deals with companies that want a highly capable “thinking” machine, or pitching their infinite potential future growth to investors.
They want it to be heavily regulated in a manner that allows them to move forward while preventing legal competition.
Exactly.
“Don’t you see how dangerous this is? It’s time to pause new development (all new competitors in the market) of AI models so we can align our models for… safety (user engagement)!”
It’s time to ban open weight models!
That’s exactly the real pivot here, can’t let “the public” do this work on their own.
Yep, as right wing authoritarians they have ONE tool. Fear.
Not to mention the defence contractor aspect.
While the concern about tech CEOs having nefarious motives is very real, l just feel like I’m hearing increasing concern from academics with no profit or power motive. The concern mostly surrounds the reckless drive to create more advanced models with little to no attention paid to how to mitigate potential dangers.
These models are going to improve significantly over the next couple years given the current rate of advancement, and the people training these models genuinely do not understand them any more than you can understand the inner workings of someone else’s mind. One of these getting loose onto the internet and potentially causing catastrophic interruptions or damage to any internet-connected system is not hard to imagine.
Yep! There are, though, people who genuinely think it could destroy us all, although the replacement threat is more relevant. The beauty of it is, for the corpos, that it all works together.
I hear similar arguments from men about men.
