    Honestly just ban mass investment, mass power consumption and use of information acquired as part of mass survelince, military usage, etc.

    Like those are all regulated industries. Idc if someone works on it at home, or even a small DC. AGI that can be democratized isn’t the threat, it’s those determined to make a super weapon for world domination. Those plans need to fucking stop regardless if it’s AGI or not

    Okay, firstly, if we’re going to get superintelligent AIs, it’s not going to happen from better LLMs. Secondly, we seem to have already reached the limits of LLMs, so even if that were how to get there it doesn’t seem possible. Thirdly, this is an odd problem to list: “human economic obsolescence”.

    What does that actually mean? Feels difficult to read it any way other than saying that money will become obsolete. Which…good? But I suppose not if you’re already a billionaire. Because how else would people know that you won capitalism?

    It doesn’t matter. It’s too late. The goal is to build AI up enough that the poor can starve and die off in the coming recession while the rich just rely on AI to replace the humans they don’t want to pay.

    We are doomed for the crimes of not being rich and not killing off the rich.
