All of the sex stuff is helpful because it exposes the “ai safety community” as a big scam. Faker than a $3 bill. The concepts here need to be how to make ai reflect social and legal norms. You don’t need grand theory for that. We’re granting way too much of the premise here.

I believe AI safety has serious issues of sexism, but I also work in the field and do not believe it to be a scam. Though, I agree that the government needs to regulate AI. However, technical solutions are part of regulation and I do believe technical research is needed.

I defer to experts (in this case you), but I don’t think this milieu is doing that. I think they are spending others’ money and are otherwise layabouts.

I can certainly understand where this perception comes from. An example of some orgs I really respect in the space are those involved with the AI evaluators forum, I appreciated their recent letter on accountability for frontier labs: aievaluatorforum.org/initiatives/...

Absolutely no pressure to read this of course and I very much respect coming to your own conclusions, but I thought I would just share a quick example of orgs I respect for anyone interested
