A lot of people in this thread seem to be suffering from a lack of compute.
The idea that an AI can't be dangerous because it is a incorporeal entity trapped in electricity is particularly dumb.
This is literally how your brain works.
You didn't build your house. You farmed the work out using leverage to people with the skills and materials. Your leverage was meager wealth generated by a loan.
The leverage of a superintellect would eclipse this.
- dopidopHN 3y agoI struggle to find description of how that would look like in non fiction sources. But your take and analogies are the best strain of ideas I heard so far… How would that would look ? An AGI hidding it’s state, and effect on the real world thought the internet. It’s not like we did not build thousand of venues for that thought various API. Or just task rabbits.
- boringuser2 3y agoThe actions of a malicious AI cannot be simulated, because this would require an inferior intellect predicting a superior intellect. It's P versus NP. The point to make is that it is trivial to imagine an AI wielding power even within the confines of human-defined intellect. For example, depictions of AI in fiction typically present as a really smart human that can solve tasks instantly. Obviously, this is still within the realm of failing to predict a fundamentally superior intellect, but it still presents the terrifying scenario that simply doing exceptional human-level tasks very quickly is existentially unsettling. Mere leverage has sufficient explanatory power to explain the efficacy of an intelligent artificial agent, let alone getting into speculation about network security, hacking, etc.
