For those who seem to be confused: “AI safety” (as a field) has nothing to do with the woke Gemini debacle. That is a result of “AI ethics” - a completely different thing: AI ethics: focussed on stuff like algorithmic bias. Very woke & left-leaning. Dislike transhumanism & EA & e/acc. Have historically been dismissive of AI safety ppl for “distracting” from their pet ethics issues. AI safety: typically focussed on deep mathematical/game theoretic issues like misalignment & catastrophic risks from future AI systems. Often transhumanist/long-term focussed. Not woke. Spans across political spectrum. For some reason the two groups are getting conflated - in part because certain bad faith “accelerationists” have been strategically using “AI safety” to describe both groups (because they hate both) — but be aware they are VERY VERY different, both in terms of politics, the problems they care about, and general vibe. Don’t get hoodwinked by those who deliberately try to conflate them.
