Richard Sutton, father of Reinforcement Learning, just gave a great talk where he said "decentralized collaboration is the source of all human flourishing and the source of all that's good in the world." And if you're in favor of this, "the enemy" are the people calling for "centralized control" of both "people and AI." Centralized control of AI is the same as calls for centralized control of people. Control of AI chips and who can download what and what AI's goals are allowed to be, is the same as calls to limit free speech, and dictating who can trade with who, and who you can collaborate with, and what you are allowed to think. Authoritarians are the parasites of any system. They are the selfish cheaters who try to stack the benefits for themselves and their little tribe and they cause nothing but pain and misery for themselves and others. Trade, art, economics, community come from individual agents/people pursuing their own individual goals and choosing to work together. That is the light in the world. The darkness is the control freaks and the parasitic cheaters who try to stack the deck in their favor. Their worldview is one of darkness, of us versus them, and their fundamental belief is most people are evil and can't be trusted. Make no mistake, calls to restrict AI, to align AI, to create kill switches in chips, and to limit access to chips, and to embedded surveillance trackers in chips, are the same as calls to limit speech, and control where you go, and who you can work with and do business with. And these calls only ever come from the parasites of a system, the people who poison a healthy working system and who periodically pop up to set back the great and powerful and inevitable surge of human progress pressing forward endlessly and forever.
