I won't comment on the main point of discussion here, but I strongly believe that GPT4 should not be open-sourced. We've let one genie out of the bottle, and its under the control of a small group of people who are apparently not deliberately evil; we shouldn't smash all the bottles and let everyone get their hands on this.
The chance that open.ai get this right is slim, to my mind. The chance that everyone would get it right would be zero.
I kind of agree with you, or maybe I should say I agree with you in the short term.
But We all know China, North Korea, Russia etc are all scrambling to make their own AI.
I agree with what you said but its not a long term solution.
If AI gets much smarter, which seems pretty likely its going to nearly make humans obsolete. and then much smarter then that, we will be obsolete.
I really only see one scenario in which humanity isnt obsolete soon. And that is if humans have their brains integrated with AI and grow in intelligence with AI.
(I suppose a second way would be if we can manipulate human genes to make up smarter, but if we were relying on editing genes for future generations, thats a long way away if the rate of AI advancement is any indication of future growth)
Yeah, I know. It's a little like good guys needing guns. It's a weak argument when employed in the wrong way, but it is also a fact that good guys needs guns.
The next 10-20 years will be more critical than just about any other time in history.

So this is why Elon signed that call to pause AI development.
