- AI has power to erase?
I did not create AI & believe even autonomous AI systems are for time under human moral responsibility.
The effect of AI socially obviously is that there will be no public forums, so we get back to middle ages, except the peasant is smarter & more obedient, which is a good mix for mental health issues.
Regardless, when one needs more data:
1) Pick small nation with slow democracy & bureaucracy
2) Do massive AI horde campaign targeting politicians & keeping them busy
3) Simultaneously ship SpaceX connected drones in crates & humanoid robots.
4) Now the people cannot sleep in peace & you start gathering behavioral surplus very effectively.
5) Sell behavioral data & reinvest in sociological ruin of the government before they close OODA.
The interesting step is what happens when standard baseline human has eventually no more surplus to give. I would guess models develop far enough that you can nudge the non-wallnut humans who don't care about privacy or anything to vote for candidates that then pass laws to outroot more eccentric people by cutting the rights to any sort of privacy.
I personally believe in the instrumentalist view of philosophy of science & endorse the "instrumentarian power" term Zuboff coined for this. It's the very significant difference, Zuboff probably said it also but I cannot recall as I read the work young, that would you rather have no free will and no one else's interest dominates completely over yours or would you rather have no free will and some other human have chosen what matters?
As endgame, such state makes lots of AI alignment literature paradigmatically obsolete.
