All of this handwringing is so strange.

Right now, as we speak, there are giant teams of people doing their best to build AI-powered killer robots. They mostly come in the shape of flying suicide drones. Dumb versions currently kill hundreds to thousands of people per day in Ukraine. There's an arms race to automate them so they can work without an interruptible human remote control.

In this context, worrying about AI alignment, social impact, or effectiveness seems positively quaint. We're literally teaching them to kill.

Human vs robot warfare is not going to turn out well for the humans.

Yeah, this is one of those points that are likely to get drowned out in the noise, until they are too late to do anything about.
