The focus on “AI Safety” is getting out of control. There seems to be an illness that is compelling people to write ever longer and longer essays reiterating and neologising the exact plot of Space Odyssey/Terminator/The Matrix/iRobot over and over again.
Yet to find a post properly explaining why AI is inevitably going to kill everyone beyond handwaves at artisinal protein nanobots (unrealistic to anyone who has studied protein structure and function), or any post explaining how sinking a bunch of funding into yet another AI safety group will lead to a workable solution to this unproven problem.
Can we relegate these dear young sci-fi enthusiasts to a separate shame bin like the Community tab? I just want to get back to figuring out how to help the sick children dying of diarrhea and malaria
