Decels don't exist. Most people in EA I talk to are basically e/acc, but they aren't dumb and don't want to die accelerating. Technological progress is pretty good overall. We are just getting to a power level where we should be cautious.

@ylecun "This model didn't kill anyone so let's 10x the power and release the next one. The pattern must hold!" This is just blatantly bad logic. While I don't think that lamma 2 or probably 3 will be catastrophic for the world, your logic sure will be.

@ProfNoahGian I think EA looks at AI similar to nukes. We don't want to give everyone on earth a nuke. I think it is hard to argue that current AI is nuke level, but maybe next year? What part doesn't resonate with you: should we give everyone nukes or does AI != nukes?

A common argument against worrying about AI safety is "there is no data / empirical evidence that a superintelligence will wipe us out, so we shouldn't worry". This is true. But there isn't any data to the counter either. No one has observed what an ASI would do because it

@littIeramblings I don't think it is productive to blame the CEOs, they are all in a complicated prisoners delima racing towards AGI. If one CEO says "I'm going to stop, this is bad", the shareholders will just replace them. I think the system of incentives is what needs to change.
