The risk is not AI taking over the world.
The risk is people actively trying to use it to assert dominance.
As part of the Russian-Chinese trade agreement, for example, Russia proposes 'their' cutting edge AI research is made available to China. Thing is, Russia doesn't do a whole lot of original research in the area, but they do actively encourage certain groups loosely-affiliated with them to experiment and innovate in that area, with no oversight.
So basically, it matters that we act responsibly, but more importantly, we need to prepare and act pro-actively to detect and actively counter active threats. If one group creates a malicious AI, you basically need a more advanced and specialized AI system to actively counter that threat.
GPT suggests, beyond educating people to be responsible (not seeing that happen soon), to increase research pace toward early detecting systems and monitoring systems. Since we build GPT explicitly to help us and foster good relationships, it will do just that. Let's not be blind toward projects that are run with the sole purpose of creating threats, and actively prepare for them and think about how to counter them.
We still have the luxury of time at this point, let's not waste it, and keep ahead of the curve.

So we should focus on that one AI versus the potential millions of people around the world that continuously seek active harm through technology?

To give an example:
Phishing and social engineering are examples of threats.
Due to AI being employed, these threats will scale up in scope and effectiveness.
I propose we use AI to counter these threats more effectively.
Nowhere do I claim we should focus on AI as a threat.
I explicitly started with: it's not a threat.

I'm not afraid on them taking over the world, I'm afraid that they'll turn out like the ones in 'The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy' and they'll be insistently and annoyingly 'helpful', whether you like it or not.

They can't do a worse job than humans have been doing for the last 2000 years. 
|

Wait what? They were doing a good job before then?
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, they build Stonehenge, The pyramids, and Teotihuacán

I read somewhere from a time traveler that an AI would be running the world at some point. People have found that an AI does a much better and fairer job than politicians.

Did the time traveler provide any information about future stock market trends?

Yes. Invest in time travelling companies!

Of course, there'll never be such a thing as True AI (you can't design something you can't describe: now describe yourself -- what are you? Now design it!).
The more worrying aspect is that at some point, some idiot in a position of power far too high for his ability will use something like ChatGPT to write a critical system for - say - a nuclear power station, believing that the AI is real, and that it knows what it's doing...

Hi All,
The subject says it. Once before I fixed a widget that had gone bang on a Friday, today the same widget totally different issue, fixed it. Why do these things go bang on Thursday nights & Friday mornings. A time when you want to winding down... 
|
|
|
|
|
For the same reason that if you have a doctors, dentist, other appointment at 11:30 AM, things will go bang about 11:00 AM, and need an hour to fix. The universe hates me.
Keep Calm and Carry On

Tell me about it!
I'm working on a child's game that uses a voice playback module to give random instructions to a child, they press a button and the next instruction is given. Simple, had it working perfectly.
So my SO recorded a bunch more instructions, I downloaded them to the board and now everything went to hell in a hand basket.

The real answer is because Workers don't start doing anything during the work-week until sometime around 10am on Thursdays.
All that activity creates a huge strain on your software / hardware and things break.

Yeah, the first part of the week is spent procrastinating by doing "refactoring".
E.g. "it will be easier to add that new feature they want by the end of the week if I just rework some of this code first..."
Actually, I have been in that "refactoring mode" on my current utility for about two weeks now. Maybe I can get to that new feature next week.

Better than going bang at 4:55 PM on Friday.

Same reason you get toothache on Xmas day when the dentists are all closed for a week

Boy have I been there - tooth root infection started acting up on Friday evening - got into the dentist on Monday after a sleepless and painful weekend. Just about fell asleep right there in the dentist chair once the Novocain shot started working.
