People will make sure it is embodied. Do any of the major powers have the luxury of turning off their superhuman AI when up against that of the other powers? Definitely not. People will willingly give up control, even as they see the AI grabbing power for its own purposes, in the gamble that it still leaves them better off than dead. That means people would be the ones physically defending the data centers.
I also don’t think superhuman intelligence will need a data center. The way the models are growing in capability at the same size, combined with hardware improvements, I’m pretty sure it will fit on a single server.
Personally I’m worried about less post-apocalyptic threats. Putin using LLM’s to create a personal stream of misinformation for every voter in the U.S. is definitely a possibility for next year’s presidential elections. People are incapable of defending against the comparatively tiny amounts of human-manufactured misinformation, so imagine how poorly they would do when 90% of what they see online is generated misinformation. LLM’s have the potential of being the death of democracy, especially when combined with deepfake technology.
