People who stake great hope on a “continuous” AI trajectory implying that defensive AI should always stay ahead of destructive AI:
Where is the AI that I can use to talk people *out* of AI-induced psychosis?
Why was it not *already* built, beforehand?
This just doesn’t seem to be how things usually play out in real life. Even after a first disaster, we don’t get lab gain-of-function research shut down in the wake of Covid-19, let alone massive investment in fast preemptive defenses.
