Maybe the crux is how strongly capitalist incentives bind AI lab behavior. I think none of the currently leading AI labs (OpenAI, DeepMind, Google Brain) are actually so tightly bound by capitalist incentives that their leaders couldn’t delay AI system deployment by at least a few months, and probably more like several years.
This is the crux, thank you for identifying it.
Yeah, I’m fairly pessimistic for several years time, since I don’t think they’re that special of a company in resisting capitalist nudges and incentives.
And yeah I’m laughing because unless the alignment/safety teams control what capabilities are added, then I do not expect the capabilities teams to stop, because they won’t get paid for that.
