This attitude is right…until it isn’t. I’m sorry, but I’m not willing to gamble the existence of the human species on this. Anthropic is claiming that they’re building a machine that threatens the existence of the human race? Take their word for it. Charge them with treason. Treason against the human race. Hang the whole lot of them. At a certain level of threat, you have to take it seriously. You don’t get a do-over for human extinction. And this is what taking it seriously actually looks like, not regulation. If there is even a 10% chance that what they are building really is that dangerous, I have no moral objections with charging them all with treason. Use their own words as Exhibit A in the trial. I don’t care if they’re actually just a bunch of deluded fools who think they have something far more powerful than what they really do have. If they believe it, they believe that they’re gambling with the existence of the human race. Anyone with that level of reckless hubris and complete disregard for their fellow humans doesn’t deserve to keep their head on their shoulders.
