Have important “crying wolf” cases have happen in real life? About societal issues? I mean, yeah, it is a possibility but the alternatives seem so much worse.
How do we know when we are close enough to the precipice for other people to be able to see it and to ask to stop the race to it? General audiences lately have been talking about how surprised they are about AI so it seems like perfect timing for me.
Also, if people get used to benefit and work in narrow and safe AIs they could put themselves against stopping/ slowing them down.
Even if more people could agree on decelerate in the future it would take more time to stop/ going really slow with more stakeholders going at a higher speed. And of course, after that we would be closer to the precipice that if we started the deceleration before.
Why is it considered bad timing?
Some people are worried that this will come off as “crying wolf”.
