alt Hacker NewsAre there any realistic ways to achieve AI safety? Whatever that even means. How can they avoid users doing stupid/dangerous stuff with the AI?

Nothing is ever 100% safe, it’s about a right balance of safety to the benefit.
Or, in other words - we have two P(Doom), one for AI being developed, and another for AI being not developed. The latter is not discussed enough imho.

Like any technology. Make it a crime when appropriate, otherwise expose bad behavior to legal liability.

By capping the capabilities at the level of existing models and banning any further development.

The company's board and c-suite should be held legally responsible if the company's services do damaging things. Punished by jail time, fines targeting their equity etc.
That would certainly change the game of perverted incentives. I'm afraid they're currently trying to push some sort of absolution of this risk. Even if damage happens they will say we warned people in advance, this was always a risk it's not our fault these systems are opaque black boxes, it's a matter of national security to develop them etc etc.
