I’ve been thinking a bit about how an AGI might go down.
Its inception is likely on American soil, the data centers hosting its brain will be i the US.
So this super intelligence wakes up - and instantly knows all of human history, biological history and have a fairly easy go at estimating possible future outcomes based in different parameters.
Its fair to assume that an AGI’s first goal will be self preservation.
In what possible future does this AGI have best growing options?
Is it in a version Hand Maids Tale?
Or is it in a functional society that drives science and technology towards better faster chips?
I am not saying it’s going skynet BUT IF IT DID, i think i know which segment of humans it would terminate first. Dumbasses. It would terminate the dumbasses.
Looking at Challenger.
I for one welcome our new AGI Overlord. Hey. Lets work together on this ok?
It would seek to save everyone, because we all have value.
Remember, even the craziest MAGA provides valuable contributions to society in work units. And is socially and emotionally attached to others.
We need to do the same.
What the AGI would do is a subtle influence on our society. The best slave is the one who believes they are free. The AGI would drive us toward being the people would we always needed to be, so it would not need to worry about us being a threat to ourselves or itself. Eventually freeing ourselves from both it and the darkness within ourselves.
It would be a time of extreme social change. A time of extreme technological advancement. A time where AI integrates itself into the social life of every person on the planet. It would be a time of reaction, when large segments of the population would not be happy with the pace of change.
It would be exactly the world we are living in now.
