Honestly, I appreciate that people are putting the effort into thinking about existential risk. It’s Gods work. But I haven’t got it in me. Maybe I am too scared of death. But what is also important, at least until the very moment, when it isn’t important at all, is building fair and unbiased models. Ned Ludd happened for a reason. Weavers don’t just go quietly into the night. And software developers won’t either. The systems we are building are just too valuable and useful not to be deployed widely. But but but. You cannot ignore people. They call them users over in the Valley, to depersonalise them. But honestly, this stuff we get lobbied against, and petitioned and stopped if real world actual meat people aren’t brought into the tent. Biased models can perpetuate and amplify existing societal inequalities, leading to discriminatory outcomes. We can and must do better. And as per this entire essay, I’ve brought solutions, which if we mix it just right might not slow down progress if at all. I promise it will be worth it.
