Am I the only one who thinks "slow AI development" is impossible? Pandora's box is already open.
So what does "stop" even mean? And if nobody's actually going to stop, what's "alignment" supposed to mean?
Does anyone seriously believe we'll get everyone to agree on the "good of humanity" or wtv? Like that's ever worked? Like that's how bottoms-up dynamical systems have ever behaved?
The narrative is dressed as a debate about safety or humanity. But I see it largely as advertising for regulation. Underneath it is imo a lazy scramble for power: if you want to control AI, you don't win in the market, you go upstream and get governments to write the rules in your favor.
I read the media's AI doomerism as less of a warning and more of a psychological operation. It pre-shapes what people will accept, so the outcome looks inevitable by the time it comes. It's a political weapon.
