this is by far the best "I quit my AI job over safety concerns" essay yet because it is the first one that is able to talk about safety concerns in practical terms and that understands "safety" as a topic with extensive literature in analogous fields www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
Two changes are urgently needed. First: AI companies need to rely more on the safety expertise that already exists in other fields. And second, before we create systems significantly more capable than the ones we have today, we need new science to ensure that more capable models (and their successors) will make safe choices when we aren’t looking.

Given today’s risks, frontier labs need to run like nuclear-power plants or busy airports, with layers of redundancy and careful, time-consuming planning, so that the occasional and inevitable human error does not open a door to disaster. Right now, AI companies don’t know how—but other people do. In a nuclear-power plant, the technical systems and rules people follow are set up so that, if equipment breaks or someone pushes the wrong button, we still won’t risk a meltdown. OpenAI and other labs are growing and deploying frontier AI with far less redundancy and rigor than this, even though the harm from an irreversible loss of control would be much greater than the harm from any single meltdown. Even short of a full loss of control, we could see autonomous swarms of AI agents that act without human permission. Imagine “rogue” agents that work like teams of hackers (for example, holding hospital computer systems for ransom) but never need to sleep.

If you are using AI professionally, here's my advice for how to avoid becoming a brain-off meat-proxy: 1. BEFORE you use the AI, mentally prepare the context that AI needs, gather it, scan it, and be ready to answer questions about it. Imagine the kinds of responses you'll get first.

AI: virtually no subject provokes such vitriol in my communities. I can grant the haters many of its harms, but their solutions leave much to be desired. I fear for the future even as I wonder at the future we are living. And so, dear hater, I must write: shaping.systems/blog/ai-suck...

This is an incredible tweet.

I respect Catholicism deeply, but this is exactly why so many Protestants have major issues with the current direction of the Vatican.

The Pope’s clear liberal political bent is impossible to defend."

PERSON 1: OK, OK, I get it. (3) PERSON 1: Can I just borrow a regular cord, then? PERSON 2: Sure. Here. [Person 2 hands cord to Person 1.] PERSON 1: The prongs aren’t important. I just thought they’d help anchor it to the wall. PERSON 2: Wait, what are you– (4) PERSON 1: I need it to help hold up the top half of the reflector for this plutonium core that I’m– PERSON 2: *AAAAAAAA!!!!* [Person 2 screams with hands on head as Person 1 walks away.]
