The only “safe AI” is one that comes out of a “safe set of data”

so what would a “safe set of data” actually have to look like

Well it would have to not look like the majority of data that we produce now which has latent embeddings (primarily from the common crawl database ) of racism, lying, competition, destruction domination

I don’t believe humans are actually capable of making such data because our entire structure of society is based on racism competition and domination

but safety has a wider scope than "racism, lying, competition, destruction domination" like always requiring eye protection when asked about making lemonaide.

So this debate that's been going on since 2013 is over because it's impossible to make an AI safe since the data is unsafe? That would make sense but if it was a data problem it seems like that conclusion could have been reached a long time ago.

Indeed that conclusion was reached a long time ago but technologists literally don’t care because they’re just trying to get paid

And literally everybody who has been trying to warn about it is beaten down publicly as a radical or whatever
