As a former climate activist who organised a protest outside Exxon offices after my country failed to commit to climate agreements, I can personally confirm Scott’s hypothetical.
I also share many of the same concerns of the AGI race dynamics. The current frontrunners in the feared “AGI race” are all AI Safety companies, and ChatGPT has attracted billions into capabilities research from people who otherwise would’ve never looked into AI.
Just a week ago, Peking University Zhu Song-Chun professor spoke at a CCP conference about how China needs to go all-in to beat the US to AGI. ChatGPT created a very compelling proof-of-concept to pour money into AI.
Counterfactuals and uncertainties aside, the AI Safety community has created the AGI race. I wonder if it’s a good idea.
