D.A. Wallach(@dawallach):I have not wanted to freak everyone out about this in the past, but the demonstrated catastrophic risks are now simply too numerous to remain quiet any longer. Look at the 20th century, and you will see a common thread running through the holocaust, nuclear war, and even the COVID lab leak: electricity. Those using it did so without the alignment infrastructure required to ensure that the immense leverage it provided them could not be directed at these despicable ends. I call upon our business and government leaders to immediately impose the controls we should have had from the beginning.
