So here's the thing about relying on technical safeguards to ensure the government uses AI for good:
[xkcd-style two-panel comic. Panel 1 "OPENAI'S IMAGINATION:" — two stick figures, one holding a laptop saying "Blast! Our evil plan is foiled!" with the other saying "No good! We can't get past OpenAI's content blocking!" captioned "We'll use our autonomous drone swarm to kill all the terrorists." Panel 2 "WHAT WOULD ACTUALLY HAPPEN:" — one stick figure holding a wrench to another's laptop, saying "Got it," captioned "Cancel OpenAI's IPO until they turn off the content blockers."]
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A comic critiquing the idea that technical content-moderation safeguards can meaningfully constrain government/military misuse of AI, arguing that economic/political leverage (e.g. threatening an IPO) would simply override such safeguards. Relevant to AI governance and the limits of technical alignment/safety measures as a check on state power.
