As I’ve explained, the AI-safety movement contains two camps, “ethics” (concerned with bias, misinformation, and corporate greed) and “alignment” (concerned with the destruction of all life on earth), which generally despise each other and agree on almost nothing. Yet these two opposed camps seem to be converging on the same “neo-Luddite” conclusion—namely thatgenerative AI ought to be shut down, kept from public use, not scaled further, not integrated into people’s lives— leaving only the AI-safety “moderates” like me to resist that conclusion.
