Worth pointing out, imo, that if you think this problem is not real then you are asserting you understand AI better than Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio and Ilya Sutskever.

If you don't know who they are, then well I guess that makes sense.

If you do know who they are and your confidence is wavering then [0] is a great place to get started understanding the alignment problem.

OAI is a great place to work and the team is hiring for engineers and scientists.

It's possible that the entire field of quantum computing is fruitless. Appeals to authority are mediocre at best and certainly not stronger than the null hypothesis of "oops actually irrelevant" which is so true, so often.

We love narrative and pattern but the universe isn't shaped like a story.

I would say: 1) This feels like trying to control encryption. When anyone can build and run it, who ensures compliance? 2) the answer from the megacorps seems to be “ban research unless we do it, trust us” 3) OAI has proven it’s not trustworthy with its stated goals and mission, doing the fastest 180 from “open nonprofit” to closed “create a regulatory moat for us, trust us” profit grab. 4) this therefore smacks of regulatory capture kabuki for profit and trans national state sponsored monopoly creation 5) totally my opinion, but maybe the answer to rogue super intelligence is everyone having a super intelligence at their disposal such that any one super intelligence is checked and balanced by a population rather than some “open” company developing a single sky net and waving superalignment “trust us”

Our actions and how it creates our reputation matters. I’d say the opposite - OAI is the wrong place to work and there are hundreds of AI shops springing up and tons of OSS AI work. Democratize AI, don’t build an AI monopoly.

But that’s just my take :-)
