You live in a world with MANY AGIs.
Collective and Swarm Superintelligence isn't a new thing at all. We call them companies, governments, organizations and churches. They just (mostly) run on meat and memes.
The only recent change is that a lot of them are dangerously powerful and paperclip optimized to produce "shareholder value".
I know "capitalism is a runaway swarm superintelligence" isn't the scifi future you want, but what criteria is it missing? The curve isn't the exponential kurzweil dreamed of, but that has only ever been a marketing pitch, all growth curves are punctuated sigmoids.
As to who does well? Who has aligned the optimization criteria for thier Super-AGI with their actual well-being? Who hasn't?
- goatlover 1y agoThis is a good point that gets ignored. We already have organizations that achieve superhuman tasks, and which are not always aligned for humanity's best interests.
- blamestross 1y agoIts always funny seeing AI safety discussed and pointing at it as "that is just the problems with capitalism in microcosm"
