Grace: Maybe the most concerning part is the OpenAI claim to not have known about this before investigating?

Eugene Vinitsky: I think it's reasonable to ask of a research program that purports to automate away all jobs that it provide a positive vision of the future more confident than "hey, maybe we'll "cure" cancer alon…
Eugene Vinitsky: I've been talking about this a lot lately and it just feels like the moral cases in the field are significantly less developed than they should be and it's eating at me a bit
