It probably requires the worldwide community of researchers continuing to collaborate freely to reach the dubious "achievement" of creating an AI model that is so cognitively capable that once deployed, no human army, no human institution, would be able to stop it.

And stopping now may be helpful towards stalling advances (if they're even possible), by providing just enough capability to pollute the potential training data going forward. If the public internet becomes a "dead internet" or a "zombie internet," it'll be much harder to economically assemble good and massive datasets.

All the AI hype (and its implications) is bringing me around to the idea of viewing spam (of all things) as a moral good.
