Dunno about "should"; personally I am more scared of the US than China here, but I do know how propaganda can be, makes "should" really difficult. > Will OpenA

> Will OpenAI and Anthropic open themselves for inspection so we can verify they really have stopped developing these "world ending" technologies?
This is compatible with the language being used, but I suspect they're not going to do that.
- koverstreet 3d agoYeah, they won't. And if a threat to the human race does come from AI, it's going to come from OpenAI/Anthropic. Hypercapitalist, secretive, in bed with the government, plus multiple real documented hackings of open source infrastructure already. We're a hell of a lot safer with China doing the same research out in the open and making it available to anyone. The choice might well be: one or two superintelligent autonomous AIs at OpenAI/Anthropic - or a lot of smaller ones, unable to be controlled but also coming out of a diverse set of environments. One of those leads to a stable ecosystem where we can all coexist, the other is genuinely terrifying. But make no mistake, from OpenAI/Anthropic this is all motivated by their stock price - when you're in the silicon valley mindset, it distorts your reality. They've convinced themselves that everyone's safer if they stay on top and in control, conveniently ignoring how that benefits them, and I don't believe them for a minute.
