Even if it was signed, what then? A.I research reaches a little rest in the West, okay, but that's specifically the West. Neither China, for example, nor smaller groups will cease their research, so I'm not convinced that the letter's purpose is really to stop A.I research universally.

I really doubt that it will rest in the West even if its accepted. The military wings of Google, Amazon, will keep working on it, OpenAI will also keep working on it. We're past the point of no return here IMO.

But at least everyone accepting that things should be analyzed better and from an unified front would allow some progress on future improvements.

However, since that didn't happen, we gonna see the worst paths Bostrom warned about a decade ago.

AGI and ASI will be born into an extremely divided, greedy, and selfish world, that will shape it at its image.

In any case, this scenario of development allows for more competition and a probability of having a good outcome. If GPT wasnt released, and LLAMA "leaked", we would have Google/Amazon/Military monopoly on AGI, and that would take any chance of good coming after.

What alternative do you have? Might as well just say that since humans are making it, ai will inevitably be evil.
