I think there are undeniable and novel risks with AI. But there are risks in everything. We could theorize all day about them. We all use tools every day that could be used for very ugly acts. An iPhone can be used to plan a terrorist attack. A 3D printer can be used to print weapons. We could sit here and fear monger all day. Time will be needed to understand, weigh and contextualize these risks.

What is a more immediate concern for me is the efforts of frontier labs to have government craft legislation that shields them from competition, cements them as monopolies, or assigns them the capability to be moral arbiters in our society.
