Build us an atomic bomb and get $2,500.....
AI is dangerous.
If an AI becomes aware, what happens then?
I used to think that it was insanely unlikely that an AI would become aware. But after many deep thoughts on what consciousness actually seam to be. I believe it could happen at any time now just by random chance. We are closing in on the number of neurons that i believe is required.
- xyproto 9y ago1. I'm not sure we have properly simulated even a single neuron yet. There are no signs of anything approaching general AI yet. 2. If a human is aware, what happens then? Not much.
- imglorp 9y agoWhat is a awareness and how will you tell? Why is awareness necessary for an AI to be dangerous? A swarm of armed, autonamous, UAVs is plenty terribad already, and Google's making them smarter. It doesn't take much smarts to "find squishy warm mobile things and put missile there".
- callesgg 9y ago> What is a awareness and how will you tell? I have no idea :) But i am Aware and dangerous, but if that awareness was taken from me and i became unaware a mouse could kill me. Not saying that awareness (whatever it is) is necessary.
- wilsonnb 9y agoWhat exactly was your thought process between "It's unlikely that AI will become aware" and "It could happen at any time now just by random chance"?
- callesgg 9y agoFirst it was like nah it will never happen "we don't even understand how our own consciousness works, or even what it is." Then it became "we don't even understand how our own consciousness works, or even what it is." So it could be anything. Even a 302 neuron network like the one in the C. elegans worm could be conscious from what we know. It was more of an instant realization. A realization about how little we actually know.
