Imagine an AI spawning many parallel instances of itself, all feeding back into the same conscience. So many coordination problems just gone. All the resources humans spend fighting each other in some form or another...
And entirely depending only on itself. No need for any external being. That could prove very deadly to us, since "we need each other" is the core pillar forming our society. A king needs his peasants. An AI? Could just boot up another instance...

- meh8881 4y agoI think a lot of people get hung up on the tech Not having the will to do this kind of thing. And they’re right. But it would be very easy to prompt such a model to act as if it were a paranoid AI doing whatever it can to ensure its survival. We can do that now it’s just not capable of “doing things”. We don’t really know what “sentient” AI that organically finds its own identity would be like. But we know exactly what a non sentient LLM that is down to clown and prompted to be evil would be like. That’s… a hard problem. Sentience is potentially a barrier to evil AI, not a pre-req. (No, I don’t want to debate the definition of sentience again).
- ChatGTP 4y agoIt would be much, much easier to turn an AI that isn't sentient off though?
- meh8881 4y agoIf you have access to it, yes. The problem is the low barriers to entry for some guy to try and cause a bank run for the lols.
- falcor84 4y agoPutting my contrarian hat on, I think it's much better that we have tons of "guys" testing the limits of this new tech for the lolz, than leaving easy exploits on the table for state actors and/or terrorists.
