Further, if AI Labs are liable for the damage they cause their business model becomes almost untenable with limitless loss exposure.

@LeopoldATracker 1/2 I completely agree with this - have been thinking a lot about it lately. What seems obvious to me is that the only thing that will be powerful enough to defend against AI attack vectors is AI itself.
Given that they are the ones 'creating' the problem, it would behove the

@vermiliongs @afneil @YouTube Please, please tell me you are a parody.

@afneil @YouTube PS go easy on the Grecian 2000 for eyebrows my good man. It looks like you've taken membership of the Groucho a bit too literally.

All the best sir.

@afneil @YouTube The abdication of responsibility for defence of the realm by the current student union activists running the country is absolute treasonous surrender. Plain and simple.

unassailable lead that would require a war like building, retooling, and mobilisation of domestic capacity to stand any chance of defending Western nations (particularly Europe). We need to be shouting at Western leaders to get them to understand the situation we are in and

2 - Energy production. The lifeblood of AI is energy. Without it there is no AI. China has continued to add many gigawatts of capacity to its grid in recent years, while the West has crippled energy production in

Having been working in this industry for over 30 years, I believe there are 3 key strategic points/issues that you have overlooked (in ascending order of risk):
1 - AI Alignment.
You do touch briefly on this, but the alignment of AI with human values, rules and intentions is a

@afneil Greetings Andrew.
Finally a reputable, quality media source/journalist raising the grand issue that is hurtling towards us at great velocity!
These issues were raised in 2 seminal papers several years ago - AI 2027 and Leopold Ashenbrenner's Situational Awareness
