ASI is nothing like a corporation

• wizzwizz4 2y ago
  No, they're not. Corporations have known, concrete impacts on the world, whereas the dangers of AI are, so far, corporations. ASIs are (as yet) fictional. Another difference: most corporations will avoid doing illegal stuff if the penalties are large enough: the corporation alignment problem is political. Pretty much no extant AI systems can be instructed in this way: we don't know how to align AIs even in theory.

    For organisms the ultimate punishment is death. How do you delete an AI from the internet?

      sudo rm * -rf

        That won't provide any motivation: no AI system yet created fears death (except perhaps some of the really simple, evolved ones – but I'd question whether they're sophisticated enough to fear).

    > Corporations have known, concrete impacts on the world I hate to do this, but can you enumerate them?

  Is very much like a corporation; a corp is effectively an AGI, just running very slowly - at the speed of bureaucracy.
