GPT 4 is harmless, but GPT 7 may be extremely dangerous technology.

We cannot trust every random with a laptop with potentially civilization-threatening technology.

Leaving AI under the control of corporations obviously sucks, but there are only three options: corporations, governments, or individuals.

Assuming the technology becomes powerful enough, the individuals option is obviously suicide.

So who should control AI, the government or corporations?

IBM in 80s moment. This is a mind boggling POV. Instead of letting people have better, more democratized access to the same tech, you want to lock it up behind bars so only select few have access to it.

The FUCKING PEOPLE.

Yeah man, only let govts and corpos have access to this amazing tech. they've TOTALLY always worked out in the favor of the people. They always want what's best for the people and it's not like both govts and corporations want to keep increasing their own powers at the cost of their citizens.

Ridiculous take. But then again, most pro-govt and pro-corp takes are.
