Reinforcement learning researcher Csaba Szepesvári, in a thread on AI control, argues that our control over systems is weaker than we believe — feedback loops go unaccounted for — but this isn't new; humans were never great at control. We should act, he says, but with realistic goals: AI doesn't rewrite the laws of nature or math, so stick to good old-fashioned due diligence.
