It seems like this situation is serious enough that we cannot let this kind of work be privatized.
Not interested in entertaining all the "this is the norm" arguments, that's just an attempt at getting people to normalize this behavior.
Does anyone know if the Center of AI Safety acting for the public good and is this on their radar?
OpenAI is making people rich and America look good, all while not doing anything obviously harmful to the public interest. They’re not a juicy target for anyone in the public sphere. If any one of those changes, OpenAI and possibly its leadership are in extremely hot water with the authorities.
Yeah, gonna have to challenge that:
1. We don't really if what they are doing is harming public interest, because we dont have access to much information about whats happening behind the scenes.
2. And there is enough information about this tech that leads to the possibility of it causing systemic damage to society if its not correctly controlled.
As for "too important to privatize"... practically all the important work in the world is done by private companies. It wasn't the government who just created vaccines for Covid. It isn't the government producing weapons for defense. It's not Joe B producing houses or electricity or cars or planes. That's not to say the government doesn't do anything but the idea that the dividing line for government work is "super important work" is wildly wrong and it's much closer to the inverse.
LOL, another one thinks the US is the entire world.
The comment about all the important work in the world being done by private companies was indeed a global comment. You may not realize this, but covid vaccines were made by astrazeneca (UK), BioNTech (Germany), several US companies and others. Defense companies are located in every major economy. Most countries have power systems which are privately owned. Commercial planes are mostly built by one large French company and one large US company. All the large producers of cars around the world are private companies - big ones exist in the US, Japan, various European countries, Korea and China.
Specifically, you are confusing all and some.
A basic education in economics (and manners) might be in order.
Oh, I apologize. I have idiotism allergies.
>"practically all" was the initial statement
Yeah, and my original statement still stands.
Go open a history book or something. Or find out what "N" in "NSF" stands for, or realize that China exist.
My do you have some peculiar ideas.
