same logic was used in ww2

One is a weapon of unimaginable destructive power, the other is matrix multiplication.

Disengenuous in the extreme. If AI is just matrix multiplication, than a nuke is just lots of light emitted at once.

You've heard the term "The pen is mightier than the sword" right?

AI is it's own damned pen.

All were waiting for is some dumbass to give it terminal goals.

[cratermoon]

It's also the logic of nuclear weapons and MAD.

[sebzim4500]

It was much more sensible in that case.

Here, it's not clear that too companies with a superintelligent AI is really any less bad than one.

[SonOfLilit]

We (including the OpenAI board) are trying to keep it at zero.

[FrustratedMonky]

I wouldn't mind this linkage being a little more pointed.

How is growth, thus being bigger and more in control of your own outcomes, linked to WW2.

If Germany had higher growth rate, then maybe they wouldn't have swung right wing?

Or are you saying that by 'appeasing' the 'growth' side, that is similar to WW2 appeasement strategy? So if we hamper growth, that gives more control?

[dirtyhippiefree]

It’s not growth of the economy, it’s growth of the successor to humanity…

Apples and oranges…

[monooso]

Please explain.
