At the current rate, few normal people will even be able to afford a computer or a smart phone in a few years, let alone run a private AI. These algos aren’t being made for normal people, they’re being made to benefit the privileged few. You can try all you want to be as altruistic with your design as you want, all that’s going to come of it is a cage for the vast majority of people. Whether Musk builds it, or Amodei builds it, or China builds it, it’s going to leave the vast majority of people shut out and struggling to survive. There is no kinder, gentler atom bomb. There is no world where these tools aren’t a global catastrophe that will ultimately cost billions of people their lives.
