AI leaders urge quitting dangerous tech development

Kyunghyun Cho, professor of computer science and data science at NYU, posts that individuals believing they alone can create highly dangerous technology should quit to protect humanity, as others can replicate it. Yann LeCun, NYU professor and former Chief AI Scientist at Meta, reposts and endorses the position. Edward Grefenstette, Director of Research at Google DeepMind and Honorary Professor at UCL, replies with Dune-inspired 'SPICE!' meme of military-clad figure.

if you are the only one who can build this amazing tech and believe it is super dangerous, it’s very easy: you quit for the sake of humanity.

if you are not the only one who can do it, you are definitely over-valued.

you can’t claim to be both.
