@ylecun You keep using the flight analogy, but as you must realise there was no imaginable scenario in flight where it “gets away from us”, whereas there is with AI. We could abandon any plane design that caused a crash.
@ESYudkowsky What’s interests me about the rules is that they seem like patches - each added in response to a discovered behaviour. Like so many bits of sticky tape. How could that ever be foolproof?
@fchollet It doesn’t make sense to characterise it in terms of the sensibility of the arguments. There are things that are dangerous to humans, and it’s not a betrayal of humanity to be careful of them.
