Ilya says that AGI will enable infinitely stable dictatorships.
Perhaps you don't believe that dictatorships are possible in the West, so this isn't on your list of concerns.
But AGI could enable infinitely stable [terrible conditions] for most of Western society. And infinitely stable dictatorships for everyone else.
I'd imagine the starting conditions for how AGI is initially deployed could dictate the status quo for society for a potentially very long time.
I can't help but be reminded of the Psychohistorians in The Foundation series by Isaac Asimov.

- mikewarot 3y agoWhat makes you think there aren't already totalitarian controls? The Twitter Files and Snowdens revelations should have been enough to show otherwise, even without AGI.
