To the people quitting their jobs and making proclamations of AI concerns, here is what you should ACTUALLY be sharing in your tweet. ⬇️ - how long you have worked in AI - of that time, how long you have been worried (and specifically about what? Misalignment? Bioweapons? International coordination?) - your magnitude of worry and why (including timelines, confidence scores, assumptions you’re tracking) - actual specific things that can go wrong (“kill us all” is the most vague panic-inducing option you have; your previous employer would not have hired you if that was your answer on AI risk examples - pretend you are getting interviewed because Anderson Cooper likely will do it anyways), you can hedge, you can say “and that’s just what we can imagine today” or “and that’s just with the next model family” but say a real thing that non-AI-pilled-superusers can actually picture - you need specific things you are calling for. Real action. A literal meeting is not enough. Your AI risk mitigation suggestion against “AI killing us all” needs to be more impressive than a parent-teacher meeting. Again, you are smarter than your current tweets and you are wasting your opportunity to drive change just like Hinton when he left Google. Examples include: environmental standards at data centers (air pollution, water quality), third party evaluators in labs, increased federal investment in open source, verifiable criteria to join early testing groups, whistleblower protections, required public risk disclosures before model releases, 3x minimum increase in federal renewables investment to catch up to China’s per capita spend, block chip exports to non-allies, highlight companies doing great AI safety work that more people should support, literally anything other than just “guys idk we gotta meet or something” - have a non-engineer review it - have a person not in tech review it - have someone outside of your generation review it - have at least one AI optimist review it - and this one may sound odd but I think you should read one war-time presidential speech before it You have an opportunity to do something deeply meaningful on your way out. That is more likely than not one of the reasons you joined your company in the first place. Tweeting vagueties and inciting panic contributes the opposite.
