I don't believe AI doom is that implausible as a scenario, but I feel it's an acceptable risk.
Would you consider playing Russian roulette if winning ensured that aging and all diseases were eradicated? If it ensured a world filled with abundance and free from poverty.
Those who entertain the idea of an AI doomsday scenario also have to acknowledge the alternative: a doomsday-capable AI would also have the potential to resolve most, if not all, our issues.
Maybe I'm a bit of a risk taker but I'm inclined towards playing.
- moonchrome 4y agoThe problem is you're not risking your life, you're risking entire humanity - hopefully we as a society find a way to prevent this gamble.
- Vecr 4y agoI agree, as to GP, I'd play the Russian roulette with my own life, but not with what is quite possibly every intelligent life in the universe (aliens are not known to exist). I would also require that the credibility of actually carrying out the task of preventing aging and curing all diseases is actually not some sort of trick and is going to happen in a reasonable way. Probably somewhere pretty close to P(1-epsilon) would be required.
