I hope he didn't really say this: it is an incredibly basic take. More or less like atomic bomb is hardware, it can be controlled.


> More or less like atomic bomb is hardware, it can be controlled.

That is the point. It can be controlled by the operators if they want to.


There’s a good number of nuclear power plants and nuclear submarines in operation, so yes, that’s technically true.


He did say it, and the reason he said it is obvious. He is afraid new regulations will put his company at a disadvantage and that this will reduce the value of his property.


And yet, historically, the atomic bomb has been controlled.

But this is a terrible analogy. Atomic bombs are weapons of strategic mass destruction. AI is just a computer program. It's way easier to control--just hold the operator responsible for the consequences of running it. Those consequences are not large, they're very tightly bounded as compared with the destruction a rogue actor with an atomic weapon can wreak.


If AI is as powerful as an atomic bomb why could it only manage to kill a couple hundred Iranian school girls? Surely a truly society-shifting technology could manage to execute 1000 innocent children at least.


AI didn't do that. You're deflecting blame from the responsible party.


It's Mistral quality statement.

3rd tier quality proped up by European governments and European patriots.

I don't even know what I'd do if I was in their position. They seem unable to complete... Maybe they do the classic European protectionist thing European farmers do.

I don't know what I'd do if I was the EU. Maybe promote the opposite of what Mistral is doing and promote full unrestricted AI that will tell you how to download illegal videos. Mistral had 0 competitive edge.
