I'm sure getting into a tariff war and pissing off the world will do wonders for the ability for any regulations to actually have an effect. Wouldn't be surprised if we don't have at least a few allies hedging their bets and getting cozy with the Chinese just in case. The US can no longer lean on political stability and fair treatment of allies to maintain soft power and influence with the country alternating between normalcy and madness every 4 years.
Another OpenAI safety researcher quit. What is that, like half their alignment team over the last couple of years? What the hell are they doing? The aptly named Steven Adler left this month and had this to say:
"An AGI race is a very risky gamble, with huge downside,” he said. “No lab has a solution to AI alignment today. And the faster we race, the less likely that anyone finds one in time.” Alignment is the process of keeping AI working toward human goals and values, not against them.
Welcome to the Jungle, indeed
