@ylecun @tom_doerr @skdh This doesn't make any sense. You're always pushing open source and now you tweet this? Also, how could you enumerate every possible thing that could go wrong with a powerful AI? Bugs always happen and software. You might be able to stop bugs at Meta, but what about elsewhere?

@tom_doerr @skdh Like every powerful tool: you only put them in the hands of people who have been properly trained, or place them under strict institutional control for the most powerful ones.

AI becoming intelligent and AI developing its own values and being able to act on them are two different problems. The former -- intelligence -- is likely to precede the latter. I don't think it will be long and I think not enough attention is being paid to the most obvious immediate problem: Any individual, company, or government in possession of a device that vastly outperforms average human intelligence will be incredibly powerful. The potential for abuse is enormous. The human brain doesn't work with magic. It's a big wobbly thing with a lot of connections that can process a lot of information -- sometimes well, sometimes not so well. It is not an optimal device for intelligence because it's not what it evolved to be. The human brain evolved to keep us alive. This means among other things it needs to be energy efficient, which indeed it is quite good at. But artificial brains have no such limits so of course they will eventually outperform humans. If you don't understand why superior intelligence is scary, you've read too many touchy sci-fi stories in which human irrationality saves the day. But humans didn't come to dominate this planet because they're somtimes irrational, they came to dominate despite of it. x.com/rolandkuhn/sta…
