1. Now. Delay incorporation of ethics. Let’s not muddy the waters in a way that holds back Progress.
2. Later. Deny incorporation of ethics. It’s too late. People have come to rely on things as they were built. It would be Disruptive to change now.

I've said things vaguely like this for a long time, but I packaged it up crisply like this in a post on Mastodon, for which this is a mirror.
Original Keywords were described as: “Ethics, Tech, Technology, Society. Presently very relevant to, but not exclusive to: AI, ML, LLM, GPT, ChatGPT.”
I made a later edit to this post to add a graphic, ironically generated by Abacus.AI's GPT-4o ChatLLM chatbot calling out to FLUX.1. The prompt was "make me a black and white image that depicts sketch of two entities engaged in a ballroom dance, one a man and his partner a robot."
1. We'll Fix It Later.
ReplyDelete2. It's Too Late to Fix.
Yes, we've seen this dance before ("mistakes of growth, then growth of mistakes", to translate a Bulgarian pun literally).
Also, I would argue that ethical is more important than legal, even though many people only care about the latter, and some about neither.
Hi, Vassil. Thanks for the cross-references. As to ethical vs. legal, I have a pending blog post (= half-written, awaiting time/priority to finish) on the importance of shame, and why our society is suffering in myriad ways from its untimely recent death. Ethics gets tangled into that, so further thoughts I would have on this here will be deferred to there. But I appreciate your comment on that, too.
