“Considered risk free” is very different than what I discussed, which is that the broad public will see much more benefit, and have little direct experience of the types of harms that we’re concerned about. Weird and novel won’t change the public’s minds about the technology, if they benefit, and the “more serious people” in the west who drive the narrative, namely, politicians, pundits, and celebrities, still have the collective attention span of a fish. And in the mean time, RLHF will keep LLMs from going rogue, they will be beneficial, and it will seem fine to everyone not thinking deeply about the risk.
