This is a scam, or something else. I really do not know. But I don't know how all these famous people can get together in like one day, and state we need to slow progress of the next technological craze. Even if it leads to our doom, I doubt this many tech people would even realize it.

Only makes sense if OpenAI becomes more transparent with their models. Unless they do so they are just signing off a wish list.

Quite frankly, yes all jobs that can be reliably automated, should be.

But with that should come an universal basic income funded from the increase in productivity. The gain from automation shouldnt be capital gain for the few at top, but a freedom gain for the general population.

The demand for corporate self-restraint the face of enormous profit opportunities is naïve and doomed to fail. And this is without even addressing the merits of the open letter's demands, which I - and many other computer scientists - do not support, by the way.

Also, demanding that "AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal" is a defamatory implication that researchers do not currently have these goals.
