I don’t mean to say anything pro DeepMind and I’m not sure there is anything positive to say re: DeepMind.
I think that once the nascent spirit of cooperation is destroyed, you can indeed take the adversarial route. It’s not hard to imagine successful lobbying efforts that lead to regulation—most people are in fact skeptical of tech giants wielding tons of power using AI! Among other things known to slow progress and hinder organizations. It is beyond me why such things are so rarely discussed or considered. I’m sure that Open Phil and 80k open cooperation with OpenAI has a big part in shaping narrative away from this kind of thing.
