Concern with AI risk actually originated decades ago, way before current AI hype. Here are some of Eliezer Yudkowsky's papers from 2006/2008:

I am concerned with AI companies keeping all the power to themselves. The recent announcement from the OpenAI board was encouraging on that front, because it makes me believe that maybe they aren't focused on pursuing profit at all costs.
Even so, in some cases we want power to be restricted. For example, I'm not keen on democratizing access to nuclear weapons.
>The real risk is AI being applied in decision making where it affects humans.
I agree. But almost any decision it makes can affect humans directly or indirectly.
In any case, the more widespread the access to these models, the greater the probability of a bad actor abusing the model. Perhaps the current generation of models won't allow them to do much damage, but the next generation might, or the one after that. It seems like on our current path, the only way for us to learn about LLM dangers is the hard way.
