Can't say I understand why, but I'm glad the Chief AI Scientist at Meta is determined to convince everyone that the AI industry does not take trust and safety issues seriously and thus needs to be heavily regulated. 🤷♂️
@maxkennerly some people at #meta are very well intentioned even if they themselves are in the dark about all of the malfeasance at the platform over the last 7ish years.
@olavf some employees do generally good jobs but imo what’s happened on the platform as far as information warfare, extremism and conspiracy super spreading, turning reasonable people to mush brained meme addicts etc, has made it irredeemable. #facebook#meta
@LaureM to put it another way: if you, as a company, were spending billions of dollars in dev work on a project, you wouldn't allow the chief architect to publicly go around saying the project is dangerous and needs government intervention... unless there's something in it for you (company). Simply put, Meta knows AI is going to be regulated, and wants to make sure that regulation maximizes their profits
