I get frustrated sometimes. A long time ago I made this video rant about it, but the production quality was far too low to publish it so I only released it to patrons. I've now (largely thanks to urging from Nick and Nicole) gone back and re-made it properly, and this is that.

There's No Rule That Says We'll Make It

We're not doomed! But doom is definitely an actual possibility, and we need to act like it. If you're thinking of working on AI Safety, check out AI Safety Support: https://www.aisafetysupport.org/ (Disclosure: I sit on the board of this organisation) There are lots of jobs on the 80k Job Board: https://80000hours.org/job-board/ai-safety-policy/

Thanks, Robert, for bringing this again to our attention, as Zachary says, we easily get into false security. One thing of which people could think we managed it, at least so far, is nuclear power. We could have destroyed the environment we need for living, yet we managed not to do so. The difference is possibly that nuclear power is obviously dangerous, while AI coming in unobtrusively looks friendly, helpful, comforting, and that makes the threat less visible.

And maybe another difference is the driving forces: nuclear power as used as weapons is about expanding one's power, and in many societies, that's no longer a legitimate driver. With AI, the driver is business on the supplier side, and a weird desire for simplicity and comfort on the consumer side (where 'consumer' includes e.g. politicians asking AI for advice or companies using AI to develop their profit maximization strategy)

Aw 🤗🤍 so glad you made it public. This is the video that got me working on AI safety; I rationally understood the concept way earlier, but the emotional side got hit with the original version of this one. Curious to know if others had similar experiences.
