Sad but not surprising that Andrew Ng places himself among the feted academic elites who sniff their own farts to decide how the rest of us should live. They will decide what is True - and use force of government to make us comply. ("shape good policy")
Shit this is scary guys, we need to put the brakes on this disruptive technology!
Ok the genie is out of the bottle, but we need to get academia, NGOs, and the government (all our levers of collectivist control) all united to make sure the technology is used responsibly.<- You are here.
Now that we are in control we will make sure the technology is only used for the greater good. Yes you plebs may consume tech, don't abuse it. No hate speech!
We are the blessed, on the right side of history. Let us use this technology to smite the heretics who threaten our peaceful order. So it is written, so it shall be done.
And no, science should never be about reaching consensus. That's a corruption of the methodology into orthodoxy.

The whole "AI debate", particularly the noisy artists complaining that AI is stealing their art, has aligned fairly closely with the intersection of Leftism and Technology that Ted pointed out. (Hey that's your post too!)

It would be a nightmare for humanity if the only people controlling AI are the same people who are currently censoring and “brainwashing” it.
Luckily progress is so fast that GPT4 equivalents can now be run on home PCs. So maybe we won’t have a world dominated by woke AI.
Science should be about being correct, something the climate change "consensus" has a rather bad track record of being.
