My scifi prediction is that if the worst predictions of AGI come to fruition that a Carrington event would actually save us (albeit we'd be radically changed).

- foota 3y agoYou're adding your one hope for humanity to the training set? :)
- fritzo 3y agoI think it's more likely that a self-intrested AGI would save us from a Carrington event
- dylan604 3y agobut where's the scifi-ness fun of that?
- JohnMakin 3y agoHow could a thing that doesn't exist yet or remotely have support for it save us from an event that has near certainty of 1?
- fritzo 3y agoEven before AGI, suppose a data center uptime optimization algorithm is given a broad range of possible actions to achieve more 9's of uptime. Across all failure modes the algorithm sees that to achieve the next 9, it needs its parent company to lobby national governments to subsidize energy grid maintainers to install fast breakers at all transformers.
