This. I was a phd seeking cybersecurity researcher leaning heavily into AI up until last year, and it bothered me to no end that some of the most promising technology I have ever seen was being primarily used to enhance the police state or increase BP profits by a few %. AI is literally a step towards a utopian post scarcity future, but instead of being used that way it was immediately weaponized against the working class for the benefit of the parasite class.
The mad "gold rush" mentality towards AGI is nerve-racking. I'm reminded of Protogen's attitude towards the Protomolecule in The Expanse.
I figured we still had 5-ish years to figure it out, but the rapid progress against HLE (Humanity's Last Exam) makes me nervous.
But sure, let's just rush headlong towards the precipice, how hard can alignment be really? My anxiety about the future and the importance of getting this right are not eased by people scoffing because "just count the fingers!" When the field is changing so fast, looking at what was going on a few years ago isn't helpful.
Well, past my pay grade.
