The obama administration prosecuted more than double the whistleblowers than all the other administrations before him combined.. He was at war with any and every whistleblower. Is that what he wants here, for us to go find and persecute the AI whistleblowers?
I think in this one case Obama should sit down and shut his piehole. Good job, we do like you, but sit your ass down and be respectfully quiet.
i’m ok with anyone telling democrats how to do their jobs. they need all the help they can get
wierd how all the dnc want is to handhold the AI, and not just shut it down, a bunch of the dnc are being paid by the techbros.
always have been.
Tall order for democrats to have a clear plan on anything.
They have any plan you pay them to have. Its surprisingly affordable even.
They’ll appoint a task force with Altman and Zuckerberg in charge.
Narrator: They won’t.
It’s kind of a difficult problem to solve.
Effective regulation requires lawmakers to have a solid understanding of the thing being regulated. This is not really feasible with something as complicated and nuanced as “information technology” and it’s how you get especially stupid rules like the ones coming into the 3D printer space to prevent manufacturing ghost gun parts.
Guaranteed, those started from a place of “We all agree that a lower barrier of entry to making firearms is bad. How do we control that?”
Theoretically, this is the purpose of a lobby group. You have someone that is familiar with subject matter to propose sensible regulations to keep the industry honest, but in practice it’s just industry leaders that pay for regulation to choke out competition, or to loosen restrictions to be more predatory.
How about a clear plan on winning a single fucking downballot election? Oh yeah. That’s not what their job is.
If these safeguards are anything like their other safeguards, their plan will be to wait for something bad to happen and then publicly comment that “this bad thing shouldn’t be happening” before going back to waiting for the next bad thing to happen.
Seems pretty clear to me.
His comments come amidst growing concern around AI safety, particularly after an AI researcher resigned from Anthropic and claimed the leading AI companies are “racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.”
love when we uncritically repeat ad copy in our reporting, very nice
I wonder if future kids will read about the AI panic of the '20s in their hyperbooks
Hyperbooks? When I was your age, we called 'em eReaders!
I’m sure they’ll get right on that.
