We don't need AGI for an AI disaster. Enough humans using AI-based tools to drive important decisions (read: outsourcing thinking) will stand in place of the "G" just fine. Corporations have been acting in this capacity (making massive changes to the ecosystem, human lives, etc) just fine. The corporate "organisms" have caused humans to erect massive projects to shave a few milliseconds from HFT, for example. AI-based decision support tools will just make that process more efficient.

I agree with you there, that's a good point too. But it doesn't mean that we can't have a disaster from AGI, too. Hahaha! :) So many disasters, how to keep track of it. Easier not to think I guess. I'm going to go back to programming my remote browser, it's a lot simpler than trying to think of the fate of the world. Hahahah! :) Corporations have been acting in this capacity (making massive changes to the ecosystem, human lives, etc) just fine.

I like your thinking man, I want to hear more of it. Where can I read your blog? When I have time, away from saving the world of course. Hahaha! :)

> The corporate "organisms" have caused humans to erect massive projects to shave a few milliseconds from HFT, for example. I will never understand peoples obsession with HFT. It is a shockingly small industry when compared to what it does (one of the reasons pay is so good). The bias is totally unwarranted: if a retailer were to come out and discuss how engineering efforts that improved response times increased sales, we would all read and congratulate them. But when HFT do it, they are lambasted.
