Perhaps it is a bad thing that the leading AI companies cannot control their AIs
Companies cannot control their &quot;AI&quot; because their output is beyond the scale of their ability to QA.<p>BTW, this is precisely why companies also cannot control the moderation or content of their networks. The number of people posting on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. is well beyond their ability to perfectly QA the content they host.<p>If either were forced to be responsible for their products -- the content they host or the &quot;AI&quot; they ship -- their financials would look dramatically different and entirely unappealing. And the number of competitors and choices we would have would be <i>remarkably</i> less.<p>This is probably more a discussion about output-per-worker, technology scaling the volume of products a finite number of individuals are able to produce, and their corresponding ethical and legal responsibilities when they do so. Forget AGI and sentient machines: the problem is the amount of responsibility people and corporations have for the products they ship. That&#x27;s more pertinent and just as impactful when dealing with Facebook or Scott&#x27;s hand-wringing about &quot;murderbots&quot;.
