The talk of "safety" and harm in every image or language model release is getting quite boring and repetitive. The reasons why it's there is obvious and there are known workarounds yet the majority of conversations seems to be dominated by it. There's very little discussion regarding the actual technology and I'm aware of the irony of mentioning this. Really wish I could filter out these sorts of posts.

Hopefuly it dies down soon but I doubt it. At least we don't have to hear garbage about "WHy doEs opEn ai hAve oPEn iN thE namE iF ThEY aReN'T oPEN SoURCe"

I hope the safety conversation doesn't die. The societal effects of these technologies are quite large, and we should be okay with creating the space to acknowledge and talk about the good and the bad, and what we're doing to mitigate the negative effects. In any case, even though it's repetitive, there exists someone out there on the Interwebs who will discover that information for the first time today (or whenever the release is), and such disclosures are valuable.

I get that but it just overshadows the technical stuff in nearly every post. And it's just low hanging fruit to have a discussion over. But you're probably right with that comic, I spend so much time reading about ai stuff.
