  > There's one called sneerclub but there might be more. Sounds right. Seems like a waste of time, though I'd rather people read Gwern or Meaningness than SSC for their internet philosophers. > You're claiming it's impossible for non-humans to be smarter than humans? I'm claiming the only reason the AGI in their imagination is taking over the world is that they've imagined it's doing that. Also, that me saying "no that won't happen" is a superior method of thinking about it to rationalist decision theory, because it's immune to Russell's teapots like this. Presumably, this can be disproven if I'm killed in a robot war. I'm okay with an AGI existing insofar as it acts like humans already do, but think the unknown unknowns are going to prevent it from being real insofar as it acts less like any currently existing thing with a brain. i.e. I don't think they've defined "smarter" and are using it to mean "omnipotent".
