In my book I write, “Can a bridge decide to collapse?” The whole “Oh no, our models went rogue” thing … When a bridge collapses, you don’t analyze whether the bridge was ethical or sentient or why it decided to collapse. You ask, who is the person who built this bridge to be so flimsy? There are permits you have to acquire. There are supposed to be tests. When you ask about the bridge collapsing itself, you’ve lost the thread.
Quite a good quote.
I also like her observations about lawmakers reacting to media coverage of AI breakthroughs and not listening to people from the fields where the supposed breakthroughs have happend (like with the maths problem recently).
