Remember when gpt2 was too dangerous to release?

Something being dangerous and sama saying something is dangerous are not necessarily the same thing. Especially when he’s got everything riding on this bet

It’s funny how when companies say something is safe everyone is usually suspect that they are lying.

In this case multiple companies are saying AI is dangerous and no one believes them. It’s a conspiracy, it’s 5d chess, except everyone top to bottom has been saying AI is dangerous for years now.

The fact is you, me, everyone here uses AI, likes it and they don’t want it taken away. Anyone saying it’s dangerous threatens the thing we like.

We must use skepticism and denial to push on despite every warning sign in the book going off.
