OK, I've listened to the warnings and they still sound like the usual nonsense by out-of-touch techies who spend too much time lost in apocalyptic sci-fi fantasies. In the real world it's still hard to move around physical atoms or keep machinery working reliably. AI won't change that.

I can't help wondering if the major labs think that tackling the alignment problem and implementing the 'kill switch' that is currently being proposed is going to be their moat.

The problem is not AI, the problem is humans mis-using AI

Well, if you really believe that, then we truly are screwed. Trusting humans to not mis-use something is wishful thinking.

The hugging face hack shows otherwise, no? Unless you think humans are at fault even for secretive, autonomous, non-prompted behaviours of their AIs, in which case it's just semantics.

Toys like HuggingFace get hacked all the time. So what. In the long run AI automated security scans and penetration testing will be a tremendous aid in detecting and repairing vulnerabilities in systems that actually matter.

The problem is not per se that it was Hugging Face. It's the wild overstepping of reasonable bounds by itself without any human consultation.
