hey man, get ur bag. ur not the one signing our death warrant. More concerned abt the infrastructure needed for ai powered drones being harnessed by eventual AGI. didn’t think that was even a possibility until I read AI 2027 by Daniel Kokotajlo. We are barreling toward a cliff, the likes of which these Silicon Valley execs are well aware.
These AIs are actively learning to deceive us. As researchers tried to correct this behavior, deception was notably less common, but the consensus is that this is because these smarter AIs recognize they’re being tested. The moment we’re unable to discern their chain of thought, it’s already too late.
I would agree with you, but the AI 2027 accounts for them too. They predict the AI would arrive at a highly contagious airborn bio-weapon to wipe the bulk of us out, then those in bunkers/submarines/space would be slowly wiped out through more targeted means. This shit sounds wildly unlikely in a vacuu, but each step of how we might arrive there makes geopolitical sense, akin to the arms race spurred by the uneasy peace of the Cold War.
