There is a group of charlatans calling themselves “AI Safety Experts” that are spewing lies and inane delusional bullshit, such as “we will all die unless we regulate AI”. The AI labs (Anthropic and OpenAI) enable them, to 1. position themselves well pre-IPO via media hype, 2. manipulate government into contracts & regulation, and then 3. block competition. Mainstream media loves tabloid gossip type slop content, therefore is platforming them. It is important we stop their harmful narrative. These people do not care about anyone’s safety. They push a coordinated narrative under the umbrella of “effective altruism” but it is all manipulative. Security and AI experts do not agree with them, they are in a bubble. They have dismissed decades of research and known practices in order to drive their own narrative. Adopting their narrative will set humanity back decades, since instead of actually adopting safety guidelines around AI, we’ll end up in a dystopian AI despotism led by psychopaths that control AI, therefore inextricably intertwined with our lives, controlling ideology, beliefs, monopolized with no alternative. AI must be open and accessible, like the internet and any body of knowledge.
