My main problem with this theory is that so many people want it to be true; very hard for me to see anyone doing dispassionate analysis of whether humans will be valuable in the loop long-term.
- rytill 5y agoWhat do you mean long-term? In the short and medium term (5y), humans being in the loop is highly likely to be valuable, as you seem to agree with. Long term is very difficult to predict. AGI changes everything instantly. If you’re saying “it seems like people just want humans to be valuable, and the human race’s thinking seems very anthropocentric”, I definitely agree. It’s hard to separate a person’s inherent need to be important from dispassionate analysis in general.
- Florin_Andrei 5y agoWith AGI looming at the horizon, any long term predictions are baseless. The event horizon is somewhere at +20 years.
