Totally agree Ciaran. Never afforded the priority or urgency required and the events after 2011 have caused the problem
In relation to chat gpt it’s worth considering a number of things:
1) Some of the developers involved in the technology admit they don’t understand how it works
2) The thinking is that progress will remain horizontal but all of a sudden turn vertical
3) Concerns about loss of employment etc seem trivial when considering the potential impact of later versions of the ai. Gpt 3 is comparable with an average graduate student where as they say gpt 4 can contribute to phd work
4) There is a lack of oversight and planning to deal with ai take off in relation to a capable agi that can exponentially improve
It may seem like science fiction but failing to prepare for the advent of such a technology could lead to serious unintended consequences
