I give EU regulators a hard time for being too conservative in tech regulation but I’ll always give them credit for at least understanding the problem space.

The real AI risk is discriminatory algorithms not Skynet becoming self aware and dropping nukes.

US regulators on the other hand are either mouthpieces of lobbyists or regurgitating viral tweets

@carnage4life why not both? Both are good causes. It's okay to see only immediate picture. It's not okay to dunk on people which position you don't understand.

@carnage4life "Skynet becoming self aware and dropping nukes" here is a dog whistle at best. Given your previous posts presenting x-risk mitigation as regulatory capture you seem to be quite dismissive of it.

And, again, it's okay to be near-term focused. There are real people suffering right now. I'm glad someone is working on it.
What I don't get is all the flak people get for their work on anything else besides that.
It's not like they're endangering your efforts or taking away resources from your cause, are they?
