Comment on Bernie's AI bill proposes to sentence AI developers to 20 years in prison

Comments

For the first time I completely disagree with Bernie and banning AI development is the stupidest thing I can think of.

The HN title has been editorialized... and techno-oligarchs really, really hate Sanders.

The bill isn't about using LLMs to merge your pull requests, it's about discouraging people or companies who might be working on their own private Manhattan Projects from intentionally trying to create the impact equivalent of nuclear weapons, or "Artificial Superintelligence".

We're getting closer than not to an A(S)I arms race. Sanders has lived his entire life in that, and I've been smelling it for a while, too.

And you would use an LLM to perform actions when it is not a superintelligence?! We want morons to be under much more than restraining order distance.
