Zvi On 'Three Observations' and OpenAI's Trade Offer
Link | #ai, #ai-safety
Zvi strips apart Altman's Three Observations:
Altman is saying: We know pushing forward to AGI and beyond as much as possible might appear to be unsafe, and what we’re going to do is going to be super unpopular and we’re going to transform the world and put the entire species and planet at risk directly against the overwhelming preferences of the people, in America and around the world. But we have to override the people and do it anyway. If we don’t push forward quickly as possible then China Wins.
Oh, and all without even acknowledging the possibility that there might be a loss of control or other existential risk in the room.
Oh, OpenAI said at the summit, we’ll simply only build the kind that complements humans, not the kind that substitutes for humans. It’ll be fine.

The OpenAI plan here makes no sense. Or rather, it is not a plan, and no one believes you when you call it a plan, or claim it is your intention to do this.
