@clarity yeah I’ve tried saying this for a while to colleagues/peers, and it’s been surreal watching people go from, “uhhh, that’s a little extreme” to more recently, “oh, mmm, yeah, it’s looking concerning isn’t it, I just didn’t think that…”
I marvel at how people can imagine all the “wonders” of “AI”, but balk at the very rationally laid out harms and core destructive motives. It’s Charlie Brown and Lucy with the football. “It’s so new, let’s be open minded!”
The motivations aren’t new.
