It is not the first time that people have tried to stop an economic process by campaigning. It is not the last time that it will fail.
The development of AI is a race.

The accelerationist and the doomer souls living in one body apparently.
How about coordinate legal actions to have chatbots banned, like ChatGPT was banned in Italy? Is it possible?
If successful this would weaken the incentive for devealopment of new AI models.
As per a survey, 7% Nigerian Christians like ISIS. That is another example of this phenomenon.
QA sessions.
Some people in this community are thinking out of the box. I fully support this, all options must be on the table.
However, one cannot make universal statements. The efficacy of violent and nonviolent methods depend upon the exact context. If someone believes in an imminent hard takeoff, and gives high credence to Doom, violent activity may be rational.
Exactly my thought, but how to get it done?
Difference in criteria.
In my understanding, this is only possible by rote memorization.
Yes, have you considered any reasonable strategy to provoke a nuclear war, as the worst-case plan to stop AI progress?
Honestly, some of these arguments are laughable, like the ones about aliens and Everett branches. I don’t think that an AI would believe this.
Not public data, at least.
You are contemplating suicide. Seek help.
They are looking to China, perhaps, as a new patron.
We will see in Afghanistan whether banning contraception is one of those viable policies to inflate fertility.
Admitted.
Biowarfare won’t kill everyone. Nuclear war won’t kill everyone. Anthropogenic global warming won’t kill everyone. At worst, these will destroy civilization which, counterintuitively, makes Homo sapiens more likely to survive on the short term (century). The same goes for minor natural disasters like volcanic eruptions.
Natural disasters like giant meteors, or perhaps a gamma ray burst, are unlikely. The last time something like that happened was 66 million years ago. The odds of something similar happening in the next century are on the order of . That’s small enough to ignore for the purposes of this bet. The only way everyone dies is via AI
Strongly agreed with this. The only non-infinitesimal probability of human extinction comes from an alien intelligence (like AI) actively pursuing the goal of human extinction.
It appears that Microsoft and Google are know in a high-stakes race. That somehow must be increasing the likelihood of catastrophe.
It is not actually insanse. Sir Winston Churchill also advocated a preventive nuclear war against USSR in the late 1940s. The rapid rise of World Communism, whether in Europe (including record high vote shares in West Europe), in China, Korea, Indochina, other parts of the world, convinced them that the biggest ethical goal was ‘Destruction of USSR’.
Stalin remained a thoroughly criminal despot in this period—the Leningrad Purge, Doctor’s Plot, Night of the Murdered Poets, the establishment of Communist Dictatorships across Eastern Europe, with their own ruthless purges and repressions.
USA had the atomic bomb. It seemed the Only Solution to protect liberty.
