"text": "These are well-thought out positions. Do you work in the ML field, a Google employee perhaps?\n\nAll that history may be true, but people have choices. If you're on the wrong road, you can still turn back. Geoffrey Hinton did, and so did Yoshua Bengio. By continuing on the present path, let's be clear that Demmis and co are \\*deciding\\* to advance capabilities.\n\nAdditionally, I recognize the race dynamics are difficult, similar to a societal problem like global warming. \n\nHowever what I find so disagreeable about your take is that you're effectively positioning Demmis Hasabis and leading labs that aren't OpenAI as moderates. Saying they are moderates because they entertain AI existential risk issues is just frame control and completely irresponsible.\n\nYou would never enter a plane that had a 10% chance of crashing. Likewise, if you are working on a project which you believe has a 10% chance of ending the world in the next 20 years (Geoffrey Hinton's latest pdoom), that is reckless and needs to be stopped!\n\nI do think some of the safety work done at the labs is good i.e. mechanistic interpretability, the supersafety team that OpenAI is starting, the safety research that's likely happening under the auspices of DeepMind.\n\nJust look at what Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio and Max Tegmark and so on are doing. They are calling for regulation to minimize the existential risk all across the world. That is what someone in industry should be doing. The folks at the leading AI labs have twisted their minds around a logic, like yours, that somehow accelerating this tech helps the cause.\n\nWhat they're doing is simply not okay. They're gambling with the lives of us and loved ones. It should be illegal.",
