Transcript
if you really think you're going to create God do you want to put God on a leash with one entity controlling God that to me is the real fear I'm not scared of AI I'm scared of what a very small number of people who control AI do to the rest of us for our own good I'm not an AI Doomer I don't think AI is going to end the world that's a separate conversation but there's this religion that comes along in many faces which is that oh climate change is going to end the world AI is going to end the world asteroids going to end the world covid-19 is going to end the world and it just has a way of fixating your attention right it captures everybody's attention at once so it's a very
seductive thing and I think in the case of AI it's really been overplayed by incentive bias motivated reasoning by the companies were ahead and they want to pull up the ladder behind them I think they generally believe that there safety risk but I think they're motivated to believe in those safety risks and then they pass that along but it's kind of a weird position cuz they have to say oh it's so dangerous that you shouldn't just let open source go at it and you should let just a few of us work with you on it but it's not so dangerous that a private company can't own the whole thing right cuz if was truly the Manhattan Project if they were building nuclear weapons you wouldn't
want one company to own that no so to me the real issue boils down to it how do you push AI forward while not having just a very small number of players control the entire thing
