alt Hacker NewsI wonder if you also believe that everyone should have nuclear weapons? And if not, why not? The main argument I can see against it is that nuclear weapons are “purely offensive”, but as we can see since 1945, nuclear weapons are actually defensive technology. Nations that have them are typically shielded from existential military threat.
I see the similarities and why you would compare them, but the big difference is that you can't download a nuke. Any legislation to police/gatekeep LLMs is going to be flawed because of that.
It is a similar 'pandora's box opened' type of situation where there's really no walking back from now that the cat is out of the bag. In an ideal world, everyone would give up their nukes. But we do not live in an ideal world. I do feel similarly about AI. If I could snap my fingers and delete the tech, I would. But now that we have it, it's not going anywhere and we need to deal with it rationally.
