In you're in favor of "AI safety" (broad definition), what's your most compelling cast-length argument?

At fist automanufacturers made similar arguments against requiring seatbelts in cars. Imagine what we’d be saying about our great/grandparents if that line of thinking had prevailed.

It took 60 years from Model T to first seat belt laws? So the technology was well understood.

Yes, that's true: it took 60 years of people dying before the political will could be mustered. The issue was known as early as the 1900s; not too dissimilar a situation from today's AI discussions. AI is not a new technology, its potential is well understood. Regulation isn't going to kill it at this point.

It's not about its -potential-, it's about what it does. Good regulations form from precedent. And yeah, gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelette. Trying to "divine" regs from intuition never works. We have centuries of examples to prove it.

> AI is not a new technology, its potential is well understood. Regulation isn't going to kill it at this point. I disagree with all 3 of those statements? :) Every day there's new stuff and we still don't understand it. Hard to regulate something you don't understand effectively.
