Nope it does not. It does need a lot of people's help though and there may be enough out there to do the job in this case.
Even though I knew this would be a highly unpopular opinion in this thread, I still posted it. Freedom of speech, right?
The reason I posted it was to maybe give some pause to some people, so that they have a moment to consider the implications. I realize this is likely futile but this is a hill I am willing to die on. That hill being FOSS is not an escape from responsibility and consequences.
I bet this leads to major regulation, which will suck.
First. this is a moderated forum, you have no freedom of speech here, and neither do I.
Next, regulation solves nothing here, and my guess will make the problems far worse. Why? Lets take nuclear weapons. They are insanely powerful, but they are highly regulated because there are a few choke points mostly in uranium refinement that make monitoring pretty easy at a global scale. The problem with regulating things like GPT is computation looks like computation. It's not sending high energy particles out into space where they can be monitored. Every government on the planet can easily and cheaply (compared to nukes) generate their own GPT models and propaganda weapons and the same goes for multinational corporations. Many countries in the EU may agree to regulate these things, but your dominant countries vying for superpower status aren't going to let their competitors one up each other by shutting down research into different forms of AI.
I don't think of this as a hill we are going to die on, but instead a hill we may be killed on by our own creations.
