Except “aligned” AI (or at least corrugibility) benefits folks who are doing even shady things (say trying to scam people)
So any gains in those areas that are easily implemented will be widely spread and quickly.
And altruistic individuals already use their own compute and GPU for things like seti@home (if youre old enough to remember) and to protein folding projects for medical research. Those same people will become aware of AI safety and do the same and maybe more.
The cats out of the bag , you can’t “regulate” AI use at home , I can run models on a smartphone.
What we can do is try and steer things toward a beneficial nash equilibrium.
I guess where we differ is I don’t believe we get an equilibrium.
I believe that the offense-defense balance will strongly favour the attacker, such that one malicious actor could cause vast damage. One illustrative example: it doesn’t matter how many security holes you patch, an attacker only needs one to compromise your system. A second: it is much easier to cause a pandemic than to defend against one.
