People were quite enthusiastic about nukes when they were first introduced. It’s all a matter of perception and timing.
nowhere did I speculate that an angry mob would kill the researchers
I know you didn’t, I was speaking figuratively. My bad.
for the same reasons why biological weapons don’t get developed in open-source projects
AFAIK, biological weapons don’t get developed at all, mostly because of how incredibly dangerous and unreliable they are. There’s a lot of international scrutinizing each other and oneself over this. Perhaps the same policy can and should be imposed on AGI?
that’s just madness
Blasphemy! Why would that be so?
I think I made my point
You explained your opinion, but haven’t justified it to my satisfaction. A lot of your argument is implicit, and I suspect that if we made we’d find out it’s based on unwarranted heuristics, i.e. prejudice. Please don’t take this personally: you’re suggesting an important update of my beliefs, and I want to be thorough before adopting it.
