This is very interesting because it's someone publicly quitting-and-denouncing "AI" research based on *actual* harms the technology does *now*, rather than wild fantasies of things it *might* do in future. https://social.coop/@cstanhope/117569603811492386
I predict this will get like 1/100th or 1/1000th the media attention of the guy who publicly quit a few months ago "whistleblowing" that the AI companies are building superintelligent skynet supergod
It's…not especially readable. The letter isn't. Lots of use of bold
@mcc haven't read the letter myself, but it's funny you mention the use of bold. I work at a different corpo and my department head always tells me to bold the text at key points, because otherwise the execs will not know where to look. This is because the company I work for is being run by people with the equivalent level of focus and engagement of a middle-schooler on a severe ketamine binge, so giving their eyes islands of bold in the text lets them comprehend at least 3 out of 10 words.
