Before you know it, you won't be able to throw a rock without hitting a language or diffusion model. There will be lots of AIs, of different shapes and sizes, and for different functions, and they'll compete with each other to produce better and better answers in a thousand different ways. And then we'll see extremist groups release offensive models, and then AI will find its way into warfare in ways we can't yet imagine. All of this is going to happen, and we can't stop it.

But let's get mad because one company has people running it whose values caution them against being the ones who build a Hitler bot you can access at $ 0.0005 a GET request.

>against the people

Or maybe for the people? If you really think that every single person working on AI/AGI or who could possess it is dangerous and evil and working against you, then why the hell would you trust everyone with it? Or do you just not want anyone to have an advantage over you? Because I've got news for you...

You ever heard of the saying “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket”? Either the elite win by default or the common folk get a chance to fight. I for one am always for the latter.

That’s why we try to draft laws protecting the common folk from the government and the elite. And much of our misery has to do with us failing to do so
