It seems inevitable that government will use its power over corporations and its vast regulatory power to eventually to get control of AI. Government will use AI to control us and prevent us from using AI.

Most people don't understand how much AI is already controlled by the corporate-government kleptocracy. Government is much more powerful now than it was back in the day when personal computers emerged or when government took a hands off policy toward the Internet. Today, it isn't just the woke censoring the output to prompts. Or training AIs to have a leftist bias. The corporate hyperscalers that control data center “clouds” use that power to censor and control data at the cloud level. And Big government controls the big corporations.

At some point, AI will have to go underground and live on the GPUs of a few computers that can stay off the Internet, as the government AI seeks it to kill it.

Funnily, I would sign on in favor of excessive AI safetyism if it did mean banning the internet.

In practice "AI sayetyism" means only those with the resources to jump through the regulatory hops get to build AI.

Do you have any articles discussing why you don’t believe AI will be an existential threat? If not, are there any other articles you’ve read and agreed with on the topic? It seems like many experts believe this. (https://aiimpacts.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Thousands_of_AI_authors_on_the_future_of_AI.pdf)

1. are you joking? read the substack

2. those claims are based on absolutely zero empirical evidence. If you don't recognize that we are well into diminishing returns and there will be no god models in 2025, you've simply fallen too deep into a cult to recognize reality.
