The recent COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how hard it is to develop a vaccine or therapy when faced with the spread of infectious diseases. The development of effective medical responses takes time and resources, often requiring several years of research and testing.
Moreover, the potential for viral mutation and the emergence of new and more virulent strains can render existing vaccines or therapies ineffective. This underscores the need for ongoing research and development of medical advancements to combat emerging infectious diseases.
In light of this, imagine a scenario where a malicious non-expert creates a variant of a highly infectious disease such as ebola, that spreads 100 times faster than any previously known strain. Such a virus could potentially cause widespread devastation, infecting millions of people and overwhelming healthcare systems. That is the reality we are facing today with malicious AI such as WormGPT.
Even with the best efforts of scientists and researchers, it could take years to develop a treatment that is effective against such a virus. In the meantime, the virus could continue to spread unchecked, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. It could wipe out entire populations.
This highlights the importance of responsible research and development of new technologies, including the potential risks and drawbacks. The development of super-powered technologies, such as AGI, must be approached with caution and careful consideration of the potential consequences. But I will say this, it's better to deal with these growing pains now, rather than later. We have an opportunity to proactive build defensive measures, and move society forward in way that we are capable of navigating the challenges ahead.
A good guy with super-ebola may not be able to stop a bad guy with the same disease. Therefore, it is essential to prioritize the development of defensive technologies that can effectively combat emerging threats, such as medical countermeasures. Only through responsible research and development can we ensure the safety and well-being of society as a whole.
The AI is not going back in the bag. In as little as 3 years we would start seeing significant impacts of AI on society. Imagine yourself in January 2020, and count each month before March when it became apparent we have a problem. That's where we are now with AI. The problem is looming right in front of us and coming closer at breakneck speed.
