@gmiller @sama Of course, What is your point? There is obviously an AI arms race. Hence why the progress will no never stop and why a global referendum is possible You think, China, the non-democratic state trying to out compete America will just agree???

@conorwebdev @sama Do you really think the hundreds of people working on AI governance have never heard your hackneyed little point that there's an AI arms race? Or thought about how to manage it?

wrote a new post, the gentle singularity. realized it may be the last one like this i write with no AI help at all. (proud to have written "From a relativistic perspective, the singularity happens bit by bit, and the merge happens slowly" the old-fashioned way)

@ra75293 @gmiller @sama It could also rapidly increase our death but atleast we'd find out sooner Personally I don't worry about it killing us. I worry more about the societal affects

@conorwebdev @gmiller @sama i know the approach is dumb but its the best ive got. being reigned by a forever emperor is also horrible but its better than dying. all in all humanity is pretty screwed here, best case scenario is a giant solar flare so people in alignment have longer to solve the problem

@ra75293 @gmiller @sama See in my opinion the getting invaded bit will just delays death I have one solution but its also kinda dumb honestly And thats open source absolutely everything. If enough people could band together to develop in the public together and we researched together it could work

@ra75293 @gmiller @sama I'm not lying down either, I just think your approach is dumb It's a tricky problem because if we make AI more regulated and its safe when its here Than whoever owns (Sam Altman) it is literally just king and we're all screwed anyways socially Its something I think about a lot

@conorwebdev @gmiller @sama you are again sayin "the problem seems pretty hard so lets just commit suicide on a civilizational level". We have to at least try to get this under control, we owe it to our children. i wont lie down with my belly up just because cooperation between rival nations is hard

@ra75293 @gmiller @sama What are you on You just don't understand that what you're proposing is so dumb The idea that other non-democratic foreign adversaries are just gonna sudden listen to your "pwetty pwease" is bonkers You're right, it doesn't solve the problem. But it is what will happen

@conorwebdev @gmiller @sama Saying its technology just shows you dont understand the problem. it has goal and preferences, its a new species. and literally all safety researchers are saying if we build it soon, literally everyone will die. saying "oh but china will build it anyway" dos not solve the problem

@ra75293 @gmiller @sama It can be a technology for good. And will be in terms of advancement You should be more concerned about how it will impact income inequality than how its going to destroy everyone

@conorwebdev @gmiller @sama what exactly do you think is the outcome when you have an uncontrollable Superintelligence that does not share our values? it does not matter who builds it, nobody can weaponize it or use it, it has its own plans

@ra75293 @gmiller @sama What do you think the outcome will be if we go to the world and ask really really nicely to stop building AI and we stop Then China comes out with an Insane AI and kills you anyways We build it with alignment. A subject people much smarter than you are curently working on

@gmiller @sama Do you really think countries like China or Iran would just willy-nilly agree to a global referendum Or even acknowledge it? The AI is getting built regardless. And I know who I'd like to build the better one

Democracy means absolutely nothing if people don't get to vote on whether we want this 'Singularity' -- which probably leads straight to human extinction. Do you support running a global referendum on whether we allow you guys to persist in trying to summon these superintelligent demons in the hope that they'll play nice with us, and destroy our current civilization 'gently'?
