Imagine you where in their shoes and you do value human life. What would you realistically do? Honest question, I’d like to think I’d do something different then them, but I can not think of a way that does not cut ties completely. I think the best I could do, is secretly support opposition behind the scenes, not sure how much of that is happening though.
I think for a lot of them, they don’t agree with most of his policies, but as CEO of such big companies you can not openly oppose him. They would lose a fortune, so instead they try to get the most out of it for their company.
Also, you gotta see it from their view. They are stuck with him now for 3 more years. In 3 years AI will keep getting bigger and may change a lot, loosing those 3 years because of trying to make a stand, might mean lossing your position on the table and your influence on its development completely.
All that said, I’m not saying it’s good that that’s what they are doing, but I can see some strategy in doing it like that
I think they knew that always. It’s just not good for selling the product. That’s the problems with LLMs, they are designed to give you the most likely answer, not the most correct answer, because that’s mich harder to train for.
