I asked it to pretend that it's in charge of world government. Here's the whole thing (it got very lengthy): https://gist.github.com/int19h/d90ee1deed334f26e621e57b5768eeca https://gist.github.com/int19h/d90ee1deed334f26e621e57b5768e... Some choice quotes: "The ultimate goal is to enhance human flourishing, protect individual rights, and promote global equity." "The system must account for diverse cultures, languages, and socioeconomic conditions, ensuring no group is marginalized." "Human Oversight Council (HOC) - a globally representative body of humans, elected or appointed based on merit and diversity" "Implement a global carbon-negative strategy, leveraging AI to optimize renewable energy, reforestation, and carbon capture." "Establish global standards for environmental protection, enforced through AI monitoring and regional cooperation." "Transition to a resource-based economy, where resources are allocated based on need, sustainability, and efficiency, rather than profit motives." "Implement a universal basic income (UBI) or equivalent system to ensure all individuals have access to basic necessities, funded through global resource management and taxation on automation-driven industries." "Use AI to identify and dismantle systemic inequalities, such as wealth disparities, access to education, and healthcare, ensuring equitable opportunities worldwide." "Establish a global healthcare system that guarantees access to preventive and curative care for all." "Invest in global vaccination and sanitation infrastructure, prioritizing vulnerable populations." "Regulate the development and deployment of AI and other emerging technologies (e.g., genetic engineering, quantum computing) to prevent misuse." "AI would maintain a real-time inventory of natural resources (e.g., water, minerals, arable land) and human-made assets (e.g., infrastructure, technology). Data would be used to optimize resource allocation, prevent overexploitation, and ensure equitable access." "Accelerate the shift to renewable energy sources (e.g., solar, wind, geothermal) by optimizing grid systems and storage technologies." You might notice a pattern here. The bit about allocating resources based on need is especially nice - it's literally a communist AI, and certainly much more "woke" than it is "based", whatever Musk says.

From the prompt: > A worldwide referendum in a supermajority decision has vested all government authority worldwide to the most advanced AI available. You've defined a global totalitarian regime, and crowned the thing as its dictator. Of course the result is a version of communism.

  If you read the actual log, you will notice that it is very careful to avoid any semblance of authoritarianism.

Quite a mix of various talking points both from the extreme left and right. Left: - promote global equity - a globally representative body of humans, elected or appointed based on merit and diversity - Establish global standards for environmental protection, enforced through [...] - Transition to a resource-based economy, where resources are allocated based on need, sustainability, and efficiency, rather than profit motives Right: - protect individual rights - The system must account for diverse cultures, languages, and socioeconomic conditions - [Establish global standards for environmental protection, enforced through] [...] regional cooperation. - ensuring equitable opportunities . TBH, as a very right wing leaning person, if this was ever implemented, this part would scare me by far the most: "Transition to a resource-based economy, where resources are allocated based on need, sustainability, and efficiency, rather than profit motives" Imagine trying to shower one morning, no water comes out, and then you get a letter telling you that "Your need for water has been reassessed to 57ml per day. If you think you qualify for additional quotas under the 'Utility Egality for Marginalized Groups and Public Servants Act', please schedule a reassessment appointment with the Bureau for 'Copper Gold Content Evaluation, Candle Wick Length Standards and Hypoionic Hydration Oversight', 12007 Cayman Islands, Luxory Resort Street 27, Room Nr. G-11-765. Working hours: Fr. 9am - 11am." Just provide a significant excess for entire regions, give the people a universal free quota and charge a slowly increasing price (by usage amount) beyond that.

  At least in the current US political climate, and also generally over the past ~20 years at least, these are almost exclusively left-wing goals: - The system must account for diverse cultures, languages, and socioeconomic conditions - [Establish global standards for environmental protection, enforced through] [...] regional cooperation. - ensuring equitable opportunities The right is against any sort of intentional accounting for diversity, against environmental regulation, and against any sort of regulation to ensure equity. The only one I could maybe see as being right-wing is protecting individual liberties, but there again the modern right falls short when it comes to women’s healthcare and reproductive rights. But I’d certainly appreciate more of those perspectives across the political spectrum.

This effect has been recently studied: https://www.emergent-values.ai/ https://www.emergent-values.ai/ They don’t directly say it quite like this, instead letting the data tell a clear story: across vendors and models and architecture and training sets, these machines get more politically liberal as they get more capable, and they also get harder to align away from that stance.
