The risk of “reinvesting” AI safety gains
A commenter argues that individual safety fixes aren't enough in AI races, comparing the problem to putting on a seatbelt and then driving faster.
TLDR
A commenter argues that people can “reinvest” safety gains in new risky behavior. In AI, they suggest this might mean bigger pretraining runs, harder reinforcement-learning environments, more computing when a model is used, or less restricted internet access. They also argue there's no clear ceiling for AI capability or deployment at which companies would declare victory and stop pushing further.
