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

I think I'm at the edge of my ability with AI as I'm noticing I'm trying to argue against the usefulness of the concepts rather than the concepts themselves. At the very least I'm not smart enough to casually read these sites (lesswrong, AI alignment) at this time.

I remember feeling like this (brain CPUs pegged at 100%) trying to slog through HPMOR the first time too in fairness. It's just too many concepts to take in in one sitting. I'll get there eventually if I keep at it but not on my first read.

I'll consider my opinions on AI safety void due to lack of knowledge for now, always try to jump over the first stage of competence. I'll start with the Wikipedia page for AI alignment, haha.

Thank you for your responses in any case, I'll dig into this further.

Oh, I think my last post was more about the people concerned with AI safety rather than the topic itself. If you want to get closer to the actual topic itself, this article is a surprisingly great resource: https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2018/12/21/18126576/ai-ar...

All good mate, I've just caught myself in unconscious incompetence haha

I need to know a lot more on this subject before dismissing it! I'll give that a read too, thank you :)
