Jef PoskanzerThe OpenAI tussle is between the faction who think Skynet will kill them if they build it, and the faction who think Roko's Basilisk will torture them if they don't build it hard enough.
Kevin Boyd (he/him) 🇨🇦@jef Maybe what we're seeing is SkyNet's Constrictor:
An AI was created, it grew at a geometric rate, until it had an epiphany: it didn't need to destroy humanity after all. It just needed to slow and guide humanity's development so that the species wasn't a bunch of fighty chaos gremlins when it was birthed.
So it set about using time travel to build a kinder, gentler humanity.
