The heretofore silent majority of AI scientists and engineers who - do not believe in AI extinction scenarios or - believe we have agency in making AI powerful, reliable, and safe and - think the best way to do so is through open source AI platforms NEED TO SPEAK UP !
@sriramk yes - the deck is stacked Decades of dystopian sci-fi and talk of extinction create the fear required to limit development open-source advocates need clear, tangible examples of the tech's value and the importance of US leadership who do you think is doing this best?

Every time I hear about @DaleyMaths, he’s in some higher, more prestigious (and well-deserved) role. But to me, he’ll always be the prof who met with a know-nothing first-year student, lent him a copy of Hopcroft & Ullman, and introduced him to this whole “theory” thing!
