Here's how this should have been handled, from day 1:
Upon releasing GPT-3, the then president Biden declares an emergency, and sends the military after Altman and his cohorts to arrest them. Then Biden declares he stopped the end of civilization, AI research gets shut down, the slop machine gets killed in its cradle. The men on the top get executed, no second thoughts, they said it is so dangerous it could end civilization.
If they ever make a docudrama about AI like The Social Network, Matthew Rhys is a lock for Dario Amodei.
They are and Andrew Garfield is playing Sam Altman. Don’t know if Amodei will be in it.
They should cast Jesse Plemons as Amodei. He would absolutely boss it
I wouldn't put one in charge of a water treatment plant or a set of traffic lights, but even if it stuffed up and killed people, the responsibility would still not be the AI's. The responsibility would lie with those who built it, trained it, and prompted it, just as, if a bunch of people are fried by a nuclear missile, the responsibility lies with the person who pushed the button rather than with the missile itself. It's a piece of software. It does what it's told. It may be complex enough to display unexpected emergent behaviour, but so is Dwarf Fortress. Any destruction it accomplishes is just the real-world version of !!Fun!!, disgusting concept though that may be.
No, they’re going to use it to kill us all. That’s the point.
They want that. I watched an interview with Astra Taylor about "end time fascism" in America (and the world).

The narration (only a bit) is in Dutch, but the interview in English
