But I want to use AI to generate highly effective, targeted propaganda to convert you and your family into communists. (See: Cambridge Analytica) I'll do so by leveraging automation and agents to flood every feed you and your family view with tailored disinformation so it's impossible to know how much of your ruling class are actually pedophiles and how much are just propagandized as such. Hell I might even try to convince you that a nuke had been dropped in Ohio (see: "Fall, or Dodge in Hell" by Neal Stephenson)

I guess you're making an "if everyone had guns" argument?

And then social media feeds will ban you using their AI. Also my family and I's AI will filter your posts so we don't see them.

Sure why not.

It's a mistake to assume that all or most technologies actually reach stable equilibrium when they're pitted against each other.

It's far better than everyone has nukes than just a few people who are highly interested in ruining your mind and/or finances. Governments, crime syndicates can pay for HHH-less AI.

There you are sneaking in a technology that does equilibriate (nuclear weapons) to simply assert that this is a technology that does the same.

Doesn't point to the same conclusion, does it?

The thing is though, current AI safety checks don't stop actually harmful things while also hyperfixating on anything that could be seen as politically incorrect.

First two prompts I chucked in to make a point: https://chatgpt.com/share/69900757-7b78-8007-9e7e-5c163a21a6... https://chatgpt.com/share/69900777-1e78-8007-81af-c6dc5632df...

It was totally fine making fake news articles about Bill Clinton's ties to Epstein but drew the line at drawing a cartoon of a black man eating fried chicken and watermelon.
