This isn’t meant to be interpreted as a call to violence in the slightest.… But, why haven’t there been more ‘terroristic’ actions towards firms developing AI systems? Why haven’t any datacenters been firebombed or anti-regulation proponents been shot on the street? I mean if this is a “We literally all die if this goes poorly, possibly if it happens at all.” The cost of a few human lives, or jail time/death penalty/torture for the perpetrator seems like a bargain for getting more time/raising significant awareness/etc
It is indeed surprising, because it indicates much more sanity I would otherwise expected.
Terrorism is not effective. The only ultimate result of 9/11 from perspective of bin Laden goals was “Al Qaeda got wiped out of the face of Earth and rival groups have replaced it”. The only result of firebombing datacenter would be “every single personality in AI safety gets branded terrorist, destroying literally any chance to influence relevant policy”.
