As an AI doomer, it would actually be pretty great if we could get this stuff locked away behind costly APIs and censorship. Some fat monopoly rent-extracting too. We are moving way too fast on this tech, and the competitive race dynamics are a big reason why. I want LLMs to end up with Microsoft IE6 level of progress. Preferably we could make Firefox (SD/GPT-J) illegal too. (The GPU scarcity is a good start, but maybe China could attack Taiwan as well and thus torpedo everybody's chipbuilding for a decade or so?)
If LLMs keep going at their current pace and spread, the world is seriously going to end in a few years. This technology is already unsafe, and it's unsafe in exactly the ways that it'll be seriously unsafe as it scales up further - it doesn't understand and doesn't execute human ethics, and nobody has any working plan how to change that.
