Yep. Societal collapse or authoritarian techno dystopia. I think the dystopian aspect is more likely personally.

- dane-pgp 4y agoI noticed recently that authoritarianism is on the rise during this crucial generation in which we may produce the first AGI. The values and power structures we have now may end up being baked into the fate of the universe forever. Even without AGI, though, we are reaching a point where governments can realistically demand that all computing devices contain TPM chips that limit which OSes (and thus which software) can run on them. That seems like too great (and too subtle) a power for even ostensible democracies to want to give up once they have it and inevitably start abusing it.
