The AI labs will govern, effectively if not officially. Government is anchored in power, which the labs have. We used to have the church and state rule here in Europe. In the future, A government not closely ruling with their AI labs won't have sufficient power to exist.
You're unhappy about the labs; I think you're just not ready to accept their rule; you consider them nothing but scrappy startups, which they are. But power is power, like it or not.
Am I personally happy with any of this? Does it matter?
- jdw64 4mo agoYou could be right. In that case, I should try to get into an AI research institute here in my country, though it won't be easy.
- RandomLensman 4mo agoHow would the labs have power? What physical force would they command to put against any government?
- wartywhoa23 4mo agoThe physical force of AI zealot dreams: A bunch of noble AI researchers stands up against the hand that fed them all the time, intentional vulnerabilities are already built into every machine of death and destruction owned by the feeding hand, and get exploited, the feeding hand is robbed of its punitive force and defeated, a yell of YAY fleets over the progressive humankind who kneels before its AI overlord unreservedly. Then they kindly ask the AI overlord to please feed them.

I can see that eventually evolve into de-facto ruling.
