If offense-defense balance leans strongly to the attacker, that makes it even easier for big actors to attack & dispossess the weak, whose economic and military usefulness (the two pillars that held up democracy till now) will be gone due to AI. So it becomes even more important that the weak have AI of their own.
The powers that be have literal armies of human hackers pointed at the rest of us. Being able to use AI so they can turn server farms of GPUs into even larger armies isn’t destabilizing to the status quo.
I do not have the ability to reverse engineer every piece of software and weird looking memory page on my computer, and am therefore vulnerable. It would be cool if I could have a GPU with a magic robot reverse engineer on it giving me reports on my own stuff.
That would actually change the balance of power in favor of the typical individual, and is exactly the sort of capability that the ‘safety community’ is preventing.
I’m worried that the offense-defense balance leans strongly towards the attacker. What are your thoughts here?
