I don’t think they should scale this up more until they have understood whether they can control it. We’ve entered completely unknown territory. We’re capable of building machines that are stronger than ourselves, but what if we develop machines that are smarter than us? We have no experience dealing with these things. The best I can recommend is that many very smart people try to figure out how to contain the dangers of these things. There’s no use waiting for the AI to outsmart us; we must control it as it develops. If that control and the broad societal confidence in it aren’t there yet, then the responsible course is not to push ahead to ever larger systems. (2023) source Unverified
