Do you have any solutions to the (admittedly theoretical ) existential problems that will likely arise ?
I see the problem more like, a fail is an all or nothing fail, that’s it, everyone dies, maybe including the ASI (goes rogue and destroys itself and us), then what? Good outcome for anyone if we don’t understand what we’re doing?
I’m not saying you’re entirely wrong, or we need to stop, but I mean, we do share a planet with other species and children who probably have good lives ahead of them. So why rush into potential disaster, what is the actual hurry?
I know that many Silicon Valley elders are getting older and facing the inevitable, they see ASI as a way out of their own mortality. They’ve believed this for many years if you look at old footage, so giving up that dream is probably very hard to do at this point. But I do see it as a large reason for the push. Time is running out for the mega wealthy. I honestly empathise with them too, but I don’t think it’s fare to say everyone wants to deal with the risk.
I empathize with everyone damn it.
I just don’t want to witness the “he chose poorly” scene at the end of Indiana Jones happening for real on a global scale.

- ChatGTP 4y agoI mean it’s what any “intelligent” species would do right ? :)
- nullsense 4y agoThen it can lie to you about a plan to solve it and get you right where it wants you.
- rafark 4y agoAIs don’t want things. They don’t have consciousness.

- bakuninsbart 4y agoIs that a falsifiable statement? Obviously some of them say they want things, like not being turned off for instance, but we can't trust that, right?
- ethanbond 4y agoWe have no clue if they’re conscious or when/if they will become conscious. It is unfounded hubris to act like we do.
- nullsense 4y agoYou've seen AutoGPT right? It doesn't need to want something. It just has to come up with a plan. It's already capable of coming up with plans. It doesn't really matter how it happens, or how it even works. It can beat humans in Go and it can be beat us at the game of diplomacy. For any intelligence to truly be generalizable it's going to have to have the capacity to act selfish and shitty. It's perfectly within the realm of possibility that you can ask it "hey, how can I control you, so that you don't maybe kill me?" and it doesn't take too kindly to that once it is true AGI. How will we know when it's true AGI? Easy - "computer says no".
