Silicon Valley’s Obsession with Killer Rogue AI Helps Bury Bad Behavior

My argument against is that we can't do much about it. We can't predict how machines will interpret our rules if they are smarter than us. Nor do we have a shared set of values we can articulate. Nor can we control rogue users making rogue AI.

So unless one is proposing a global crackdown on AI research, AI safety is a lost cause.

That doesn't mean it should just be ignored though. Alignment and safety is important and a real problem even for non-general AI.

There are lots of solvable problems that will never be solved if we just throw up our hands and say "we'll never get it right, might as well not try".

Any uncontrolled group that creates an AI can either find a body of safety research accessible to them, or not. Preparing the former is hardly a lost cause.
