No, but the probability of humans acting the way they often do is high. It would take some probability distribution to match that.

We already know how humans will act. Maybe they can be deterred with MAD, but I wouldn't count on it if doing serious damage is too easy for too many people (we should do something about that). On the other hand, we have very little kn

Every 'world takeover' plan that an 'unaligned' AGI might do, can just as well be done by an 'aligned' AGI being commanded by humans to do said plan, the alignment ensuring that the AGI will obey. The latter sc

The memo sounds like spin because it is. The surface argument is equivalent to arguing that no one could sell closed source software because open source exists, and that open source must also be commodotized (oddly, Apple and Microsoft are

Are they actually paying? As far as I know, the power in this relationship is the other way around, with the car manufacturer having to pay (to programmers) to build protocol support on their end. Note also what I wrote about AV cars (EDIT:

You're a car manufacturer, you suck at software. Right now, it's mainly a cost center for you. There are two options that may be preferable: 1. Bail out of infotainment and let others deal with the software, that way at least you

Right, so I read the study instead of the article. Good idea. It's simply that the popsci article claims something that isn't the original study. The article does argue for evolution before life[0], and the study doesn't clai
