An AGI aligned to Germany in 1938 is not much better to one not aligned at all.

- TeMPOraL 2y agoThat wouldn't have been aligned to generalized human values even back in 1938.
- pixl97 2y agoI mean, that is why a key point of fascism is dehumanizing entire classes of people so you don't have to consider their values at all. If AI/AGI even becomes moderately successful soon we'll quickly see companies remove neo-luddites from their list of general human values so their security bots can beat unemployed hungry factory workers to death when they attempt to picket in front of the company offices.
- lstodd 2y agoThe key point of fascism is not "dehumanizing", "classes" or "people". Those are just side effects or by-products, whatever you like. The key point is "forget yourself, devote all you were to the state".
- llm_trw 2y agoWhenever I hear someone speaking of generalized human values all I hear is "My values" or else. Lest we forget that the largest genocide of the 20th century was done by communists for universal brotherhood in China. If we'd picked Hitler AI as our overlord we would have fewer deaths than if we picked Mao AI (and possibly Stalin AI). In short: anyone in favor of human universalism is the last person you want to put in charge of AGI alignment.
