The logical end of the ‘Solution to bad speech is better speech’ has arrived in the age of state-sponsored social media propaganda bots versus AI-driven bots arguing back

OpenAI is so concerned that AI will do x and y bad thing but still pour all these resources into developing it further.
There are other endeavors where a great deal of the effort is put into making it safe. Space travel for example.
I wish that was the case for AI development. AI safety is a notoriously underfunded, understaffed and still overall neglected field.

If someone knows that what they’re about to create is going to do harm like this, they shoulder some of the responsibility for those consequences. They dont just get to wash their hands of it as if they had no idea.

Because people should consider the pros and cons of what they work on not just pretend that none of the responsibility for those cons is theirs. AI is one of the things that could wipe out humanity. Not in the terminator sense but through unparalleled distruption of the economy and by facilitating a wedge between people through the production of propaganda like none that weve ever seen. i.e deepfakes, personally tailored propaganda etc.

Yes. Your point?

I’m saying that the world is facing many threats, and all of them need to be addressed. Including some AI.
Not to mention that even if one inventor decides not to release their creation, eventually someone else will make something similar.
Would you say then that our efforts to hinder access to dangerous information aren’t working?
In that case, would you object to the posting of detailed schematics on the internet for the creation of nuclear weapons?

That concern is feigned, for PR.
The incentives to continue development are far too great; if one firm abandons the project, that just means that AI will be developed by a less ethical firm. This is why arguing that AI is bad in-and-of-itself is a moderately effective way to reduce the ethics of the average AI developer.
