The cat's out of the bag. Focus your energy on stopping fascist oligarchs then regulating AI to be as green and democratic as possible. Or sit back and avoid it out of ethical concerns as the fascists use it to target and eliminate you.
Holy false dichotomy. I can care about more than one thing at a time. The existence of fascists doesn't mean I need to use and like AI lmao
That's 👏 not 👏 an 👏 excuse 👏 to be 👏 SHITTY!
The number of people who think that saying that the cat's out of the bag is somehow redeeming is completely bizarre. Would you say this about slavery too in the 1800s? Just because people are doing it doesn't mean it's morally or ethically right to do it, nor that we should put up with it.
No one 👏👏 is 👏👏 excusing 👏👏 being 👏👏 shitty.
The "cat" does not refer to unethical training of models. Tell me, if we somehow managed to delete every single unethically trained model in existence AND miraculously prevent another one from being ever made (ignoring the part where the AI bubble pops) what would happen? Do you think everyone would go "welp, no more AI I guess." NO! People would immediately get to work making an "ethically trained" model (according to some regulatory definition of "ethical"), and by "people" I don't mean just anyone, I mean the people who can afford to gather or license the most exclusive training data: the wealthy.
"Cat's out of the bag" means the knowledge of what's possible is out there and everyone knows it. The only thing you could gain by trying to put it "back in the bag" is to help the ultra wealthy capitalize on it.
So, much like with slavery and animal testing and nuclear weapons, what we should do instead is recognize that we live in a reality where the cat is out of the bag, and try to prevent harm caused by it going forward.
The world is on fire, but if you don't add fire to the fire, you might get burned.
