The open letter
is calling (3rd para from bottom) for “AI research and development [to] be refocused on making today’s powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.” Loyalty? This is exactly what our paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.00752 called the “AI-as-slave” paradigm. Nope.
I recommend making a comment on the original post about the letter instead of a separate post.
Dear Roman, you think it’s less likely to get lost in the noise there? In fact I posted this first before the letter was out, and one of the mods set it back to draft status because he was afraid I’m making it public before the embargo expired. But it was up for a few hours and succeeded in gathering about 20 downvotes, so it’s clearly not a popular view...
