How will AI be used to allocate supply of natural resources, food, and medicines that are insufficient to meet demand?

How will AI be used to improve cost benefit analysis, quality control, coordination of projects that involve multiple vendors and evaluate their progress?

How will AI be used to protect personal identities and sensitive information?

How will AI be used to label false vs questionable vs factual information and visuals?

How can AI be used to devise effective programs for rehabilitating most criminals?

What guardrails will AI devise to prevent destructive uses of AI?

Assuming AI is used successfully and reduces needed personnel requirements in all forms of work, how will most people have enough income to enjoy their standard of living - will users of AI be taxed to provide supplemental income to their personnel, the unemployed, the disabled?

I think it's cool that you're doing this, but the OpenAI grant certainly raises eyebrows 🤨.

I don't know precisely what the distribution of AGI timelines looks like at OpenAI, but if they believe timelines are short, but they are paying for a series of posts about timelines being much longer, well one might wonder whether this is an attempt to avoid regulation...

On the other hand, it's not like I want funders to only fund people who agree with them on everything. That seems really bad as well.

I guess I've kind of put them in an unfair bind/Catch 22, but I don't know, often it just feels worthwhile, honestly sharing how you see things.
