Comment Comment by GPerson The reason I don’t pivot into AI safety (in a topic I might have comparative advantage in as a mathematician) is the following.(1) I believe increasing AI capability is a net negative.(2) AI capability is limited by AI safety in the way the power of a rifle is limited by how safe it is to use.I.e., AI safety and AI capability look like two sides of a coin to me.If I were disillusioned of this view I might consider it. But right now it just seems unethical and against my fundamental beliefs. parent GPerson 1 month ago
(1) I believe increasing AI capability is a net negative.
(2) AI capability is limited by AI safety in the way the power of a rifle is limited by how safe it is to use.
I.e., AI safety and AI capability look like two sides of a coin to me.
If I were disillusioned of this view I might consider it. But right now it just seems unethical and against my fundamental beliefs.
