Interested in farm animal welfare and poverty alleviation.
I don't have anything important to add, but I can't get the following out of my head:
I think OpenAI's safety measures here seemed.. lacking? What was stopping them from running tests on a box with genuinely no internet access or connections to other boxes?
Just unplug the internet on whatever box they're on
Thank you very much for taking the time to add your comment here Fai. I'm glad I posted the idea here for feedback! I've redacted the relevant parts of the post.
For the reasons you gave I'll drop the idea, unless I or someone else can think of good arguments against your comment. But I think it's quite likely you're correct and I strongly don't want to risk any of those negatives you outlined occuring.
I would be very interested to hear your other ideas around AI and helping animals feel free to dm me or comment them if you like.
Here is an interesting paper related to using machine learning to identify language patterns in psychopaths if people are interested. https://egrove.olemiss.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1445&context=etd
Invest in the FTSE 100 for british companies. It won't grow as fast and there is more risk (maybe? idk i'm also not into money stuff), but british companies don't contain frontier AI labs atm. You can also generally invest in funds in other countries you're optimistic about like poland or germany or any other country that doesn't contain AI labs to diversify.
US, China, and france I guess are the countries to avoid. As well as korea / japan / netherlands / taiwan and maybe some others for chips manufacturing supply chain if you wanna be extra keen
