  • Emergency pod: Don’t believe OpenAI’s “nonprofit” spin (with Tyler Whitmer)

    3 weeks ago | 80000hours.org | Robert Wiblin

    There’s memes out there in the press that this was a big shift. I don’t think [that’s] the right way to be thinking about this situation…You’re taking the attorneys general out of their oversight position and replacing them with shareholders who may or may not have any power. …There’s still a lot of work to be done — and I think that work needs to be done by the board, and it needs to be done by the AGs, and it needs to be done by the public advocates.

  • Emergency pod: Did OpenAI give up, or is this just a new trap? (with Rose Chan Loui)

    I do think that there is something to celebrate here. … But we’re far from done. … There’s an opportunity to actually really make this work — I think that’s an optimistic way of looking at it. Now that they have said the nonprofit will be in control, what we’re hoping for is to see details that will show us how the nonprofit will actually be in control.

  • Ian Dunt on why governments in Britain and elsewhere can't get anything done – and how to fix it

And I get it: some of those prime ministers were people that were crucial in the history of liberal democracy, or some of them fought off Nazism. I get that that is obviously a powerful thing.

  • AI-enabled power grabs

    1 month ago | 80000hours.org | Cody Fenwick

    Why is this a pressing problem? New technologies can drastically shift the balance of power in society. Great Britain’s early dominance in the Industrial Revolution, for example, helped empower its global empire.1With AI technology rapidly advancing, there’s a serious risk that it might enable an even more extreme global power grab. Advanced AI is particularly concerning because it could be controlled by a small number of people, or even just one.

  • Tom Davidson on how AI-enabled coups could allow a tiny group to seize power

    1 month ago | 80000hours.org | Robert Wiblin |Lukas Finnveden

    Once we get to a world where it is technologically possible to replace those researchers with AI systems — which could just be fully obedient, instruction-following AI systems — then you could feasibly have a situation where there’s just one person at the top of the organisation that gives a command: “This is how I want the next AI system to be developed.” And then this army of loyal, obedient AIs will then do all of the technical work.
