- Vecr 2y agoCorporations aren't AIs, they aren't as powerful as AIs, and they don't think like AIs. I have mathematical proof. Show me a corporation that, as a whole, satisfies both invulnerability to dutch book attacks and has a fully total ordered VNM compliant utility function.
- wnoise 2y agoThat merely makes them stupid AIs.
- Vecr 2y agoI guess I failed to understand the point. What I mean is that arguing that AIs can't be a problem (something that I'd like to be true, but probably isn't) because companies already are superhuman does not make sense, for some pretty simple mathematical reasons.
- gary_0 2y agoThe point is a philosophical argument about what constitutes a powerful non-human agent. Nobody is arguing that corporations are literal thinking computers. > arguing that AIs can't be a problem ... because companies already are superhuman Quite the opposite, actually: corporations can potentially be very destructive "paperclip optimizers".
- kwhitefoot 2y agoWhat makes you think that AIs would be VNM rational?
- Vecr 2y agoThey should either be VNM rational or have surpassed VNM rationality. Anything else is leaving utils on the table (though I suppose that's kind of tautological).
