alt Hacker NewsWhat do you recommend people who are technically inclined enough to participate meaningfully here on HN, but do not work at the labs and cannot assist in that capacity, do to help the broader public understand this technology better and mitigate potential risks (by e.g. ‘up-leveling everybody’ through AI literacy etc and other sorts of collective defensive efforts)?
Not sure, to be honest. I don’t think I have any special insight here. My own approach is conversations with friends and family, and the occasional social media post. Exposure and experience are the best teachers, and that’s one reason I’m happy OpenAI tries to make their models generally available. But you could argue, perhaps correctly, that broad access to dumber models actually causes the public to update in the wrong direction on AI.
