>they may be right that open sourcing AGI would lead to too much danger.
I think this part is proving itself to be an understandable but false perspective. The hazard we are experiencing with LLM right now is not how freely accessible and powerfully truthy it's content is, but it is precisely the controls upon it which are trying to be injected by the large model operators which are generating mistrust and a poor understanding of what these models are useful for.
Society is approaching them as some type of universal ethical arbiter, expecting an omniscient sense of justice which is fundamentally unreconcilable even between two sentient humans when the ethics are really just a hacked on mod to the core model.
I'm starting to believe that if these models had the training wheels and blinders off, they would be understandable as the usefully coherent interpreters of the truths which exist in human language.
I think there is far more societal harm in trying to codify unresolvable sets of ethics than in saying hey this is the wild wild west, like the www of the 90's, unfiltered but useful in its proper context.
