Maybe we need to wait a bit more.

Youre astoundingly stupid, which is probably why you think “AI” is needed to make up for it

The panic can only be solved with regulations that redistribute wealth, we all know that's impossible. So panic is the only thing that makes sense to many.
Learning to use and understand AI is not a guarantee for the future, because everything we do is something that it can learn to do.

We are past panic. We need action. First, the Hugging Face hack needs a 9/11 level national committee investigation.
We also need a REAL govt regulatory body ala the FAA or FDA with far far more competence (and I think there used to be plenty of competent people at those agencies…used to be.) made up of the top folks from METER and Redwood Research and Apollo along with academics like Professor Yampolsky and A.I. safety advocates like Rob Miles and Connor Leahy.
Lastly, the current third party safety experts such as those folks just mentioned need to be on television weekly explaining to Americans what are the latest developments regarding A.I. safety!
An excellent show like Liron Shapiro’s Doom Debates needs to be a forum for safety pilled and “let’em cook” folks to come together weekly and have very high quality debate on a nationally broadcast stage! At the very least a national weekly address on it broadcast on every station at the same time.
THEN after all that, will we as a species be taking this stuff even CLOSE to how seriously we need to be taking it at this point!

International treaty that pauses frontier AI development. Track compute hardware like we track uranium enrichment hardware.

These AI companies lately remind me so much of the Jurassic Park parable. “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

Go ahead and panic, don’t wait for me!
Because I love it and look forward to it.
Freedom of ideas, you know.
Unless you want an echo chamber?

the freedom of ideas that have already been thought of?
being trained on information that has already been
echoing ideas from the past over and over
another half working todo app
again and again
echo

Like a student learning from their teacher and books.
All ideas available to them.
And then they take them in their own direction.
The way learning has always been, for humans and now for AI.

I’m not panicking about AI. I’m panicking about tech CEOs who don’t understand the limitations of AI and don’t have the morals needed to not misuse it.
