we would not actually know how and why either CSAM or heroin or burning plastic is bad and affects victims/drug users without actual studies involving their impact. you cannot just from-first-principles every single possible issue.

It is absolutely bananas that one of the most prominent anti-AI experts in America is talking like this. Talking to ChatGPT isn’t like doing heroin or downloading child porn. It will not hurt you and has no ethical valence. It will help you understand the nature of something that is now endemic.

A lot of people's priors are locked in 2024, and haven't adjusted to the reality that, in 2026, you can run an open source model that is approximately Claude Sonnet quality on a $5000 Mac M5 and it uses less than 300 watts to operate. No water. And it's way, way more capable than the 4o they mocked.
