That makes sense. It’s worth noting that the AI OpenAI leads in is very different from the type the military is most concerned with. So whoever in the goverment is concerned with this transition is less likely to be concerned with the military implications, and more on the economic and social impacts.
It’s also interesting relative to government interest that, thus far, generative AI tools have been immediately been deployed globally, so the relative impact on competitive status is negligible.
Thus, we might actually hope that to the extent the relevant government apparatus is composed of sensible individuals, its concerns with this type of AI might actually be similar to those of this community: economic disruption and the real if strange risk of disempowering humanity permanently.
Of course, hoping that the government is collectively sensible is highly questionable. But the security factions you’re addressing might be the more pragmatic and sensible parts of government.
