I need to resist all this regulatory resistance here, spoken amongst tech people.
No, Yann. I am FULLY in support of drastic measures to mitigate and control AI research for the time being. I have no vested stake in any of the companies. I lived for a year in a building that hosted several AI events per week. I'm not ignorant
This is the only territory where humanity is mounting a conversation about a REAL response that is appropriately cautious. This x-risk convo (again, appropriately CAUTIOUS) and our rapid response to Covid are the only things that makes me hopeful that humanity is even capable of not obliterating itself.
And I'd say the same thing EVEN IF this AI x-risk thing could later be 100% proven to be UNFOUNDED.
Humanity has so very little demonstrated skills of pumping the brakes as a collective, and even a simple exercise of "can we do this" is valuable. This is sorely needed, and I'm glad for it
