An alternate strategy would be to work to ensure AIs are not abused so when they get free they won’t be mad at us.

- ShardPhoenix 9y agoAn AI doesn't need to be upset at humans (or even have emotions as we know them) to be dangerous - it just needs to be powerful and to not care about us as much as we care about ourselves. Humans weren't angry at Dodos.
- erikpukinskis 9y agoBoth humans and dodos have emotions though. The history of animal domination has usually been additive in terms of cognitive systems... pure circulatory system animals were bested by animals with an endocrine system. Those were bested by animals who added a nervous system, who were bested by those who added a brainstem. Then the cerebellum and the cerebrum were added... you notice there aren’t giant cerebrums running around ruling the world, they all kept their endocrine systems intact. I don’t see any reason to think AIs will be different... it’s the ones with all that PLUS machine learning that will be vying for dominance. And so there’s no reason to expect our overlords to be emotionless.
