    If I was the director of AI safety, and I used AI to own and delete my inbox, I sure as shit would never tell a soul.

    This is pure unbridled incompetence.

      As a director of something, you are kinda public person. No way to just not tell.

        Okay but this is like the armoury master person shooting their own foot with a loaded gun when they were juggling guns.

      The whole “AI safety” field is this incompetent. These people that will tell you AI is on the verge of creating a bioweapon, and then run random code in a command line. Completely and totally unserious.

        I don’t know what the hell has happened, but some of these people are basically human jellyfish. Big tech is full of them now.

        No thought enters their mind, but they dodge the layoffs and the PIPs and get promoted like this.

        I don’t fucking get it.

          It’s just the natural progression of a disease that spreads outwards from Management. The bosses want yes-men, not people capable of independent thought.

            In other words, it’s why authoritarianism always fail

            And capitalism is very specifically not a democratic economic system. There’s a hierarchy. The owners are the ones in power
