    This article is written by an LLM, by the way. ("Quietly" is... as Claude might put it... "often the quiet tell".)

      And I read it by asking an LLM to summarise it

    There's a general point here which is that the primary use and appeal of AI is to use it to avoid the negative side effects imposed on you by other people.

    The flip side is the people with the biggest problems with AI are those that survive by imposing themselves on others in unnecessary ways, which is why so many bureaucrats are so enthused about regulating it.

      Wut? AI do absolutely nothing in terms of "avoiding the negative side effects imposed on me by other people". Instead we are all having to deal with negative side effects of AI.

      AI is imposed on us, whether we want it or not.

      >which is why so many bureaucrats are so enthused about regulating it.

      Like, OpenAI and Antropic? Because these two are the primary entities a.) pushing for regulation of their competitors b.) doing their best to convince us that AI is oh so dangerous and will kill us all as vengeful AI god is about to wake up any day now c.) openly bragging about using AI to hack other companies.

        Quite literally the subject of the article.

    The social content or science of development vanish.

    People become islands working on something without the bigger picture.

    This is very dangerous.

    Collaborative research is a dual purpose existensial safety hazard, it's better to all results locked up away from public use for the public's own benefit.
