However this only claims that they are not good at creating effective and trustworthy orgs, it does not address their claim that it is not possible to crate powerful, aligned, and controllable AI. Both things be true.
it is uncontrolled in the sense that a rock is uncontrolled if you throw it at someone's head.
it isn't good enough for anything important. you would not trust it to run an alarm in a power station.
of course it is not general ai. ask an llm to drive a car. you need to see in fractions of a second ideally. the llm might brake after 20 seconds. i think llms are doomed here. we could come up with a different architecture but then we would be back in the land of fantasy.
we are stupid but hopefully not that stupid. we are dealing with something computer based, luckily we can survive without, with some thinking about it. i would start there instead of with the AI part.
