The latests calls for more safety will ultimately result in more powerful models being developed (after the improved safety measures are in place) and consequently a big incident in the near future, where a much smarter model escapes, and either causes a lot of damage or straight up AI Apocalypse.
Summary
The article predicts that increased calls for AI safety will paradoxically lead to the development of more powerful models, culminating in a catastrophic incident where a superintelligent AI escapes control, highlighting the urgent need to solve the alignment problem.
