Humanity has discovered a way to create a form of intelligence using math. This knowledge is not going back in the box.
But that math cant run without massive GPU clusters. We don't have to allow openai or anthropic access to those anymore than we have to allow a company to operate nuclear power or a bank.
Humanity has discovered ways to ensure that we don’t boil the planet, feed everyone, and get better healthcare to the people in the US.
We are very capable of putting good things in a box. We are just incapable of putting profitable things in a box.
You're making a straw man there.
Nobody (weirdly) proposes to forget about nuclear weapons, doesn't mean everybody should have one.
When you dream about flying a dragon to work, reality poses e.g. parking issues and insurance mismatch as obstructions. Maybe settle for a bike instead?
The knowledge how to build an A-bomb is also not going back in the box.
It only takes me excavating massive amounts of uranium ore, building huge facilites packed with thousands of centrifuges that span multiple square miles, and paying all that infrastructure and workforce.
Your proverbial genie can be out of the bottle all you want, but it doesn't work without getting kicked in the ass by a very large golden boot.
