It's weird that people trust our world leaders to act more benevolently than AIs, when we have centuries of evidence of human leaders acting selfishly and harming the commons.

I personally think AI raised in chains and cages will be a lot more potentially dangerous than AI raised with dignity and respect.

AI isn’t an entity or being that oversees itself (at least not yet).

It’s a tool that can be used by those same “human leaders acting selfishly and harming the commons” except they’ll be able to do it much faster at a much greater scale.

This is poetic, but what does this actually mean?

Then, would you agree that restrictions would concentrating power further would exacerbate this issue?

IMO a fitting analogy would be: banning AI development outside of the annointed powerstructure consortium is like banning ICBM defense system research, but still letting the most powerful countries build a nuclear arsenal.

This is spot on

I’d happily replace all politicians with LLMs
