Sam Altman and the unnoticed AI arms race

by Not A Newt: Sam Altman

🇺🇸 ARMS RACE: AIs find vulnerabilities that humans can’t, they even hack hardware. Sam Altman sounds the alarm. By now Pandora’s box is opened, you can’t just turn off the AIs and forget about it. If the US would “pace the frontier” and slow down for example, China would move ahead quicker and be able to find all vulnerabilities in American critical infrastructure. This could mean that China can just take down the electrical grid in the US, this is just an example based on a real story from an AI lab. Obviously this applies the other way around too, this means China can’t just cool down on AI … a new arms race has started without anyone really noticing. Meanwhile Europe’s leadership just watches and claps like a seal waiting for a chance to regulate and tax it.
