Scottish software guy. Very concerned about existential risk from AGI.

@AndreTI Just because intelligence is complicated doesn't falsify the simple theory: once you build something capable of broadly outwitting you, it won't give you a second chance.

@AndreTI I don't see how spikiness helps avoid a bright-line point-of-no-return. Either the superhuman AI scientist is already capable of quietly scheming against us, or its successor is.

@AndreTI Benevolent superintelligence is possible, but idk why you'd find it plausible. It's a profoundly thorny problem, our techniques are very crude, and we have to get it right first try.

[Michael Hay 🇬🇧 ⏸️ @MikeFHay]

@AndreTI You agree we're ~<5 years away from being replaced by a successor species, but we shouldn't stop it??

@JoinTorchbearer Anthropic talks about safety, but at the end of the day they are trying to build Superintelligence, which is profoundly dangerous. They must be stopped.

@AndreTI Somewhat less suicidal than continuing on the current path.

@inner_concerns @RepYassAnsari Good news that's not what she said. Keep your current model, just stop building smarter ones that risk loss of control.

@PauseAI_UK Great work Hatty!

@JChimirie66677 What prompt produced this slop?

@JoinTorchbearer @ControlAI After going through these lessons I'm briefing my MP on Thursday. Hopefully I can be convincing!

@RichardHanania Yes, tech people are wrong to predict that superhuman AGI will lead to all wealth being captured by the rich. It will instead lead to loss of control and human extinction.

@AaronBergman18 That already exists, it's called The Computer Fraud And Abuse Act. The government does the retaliating.

@BlueRepublik Lose "instantiating themselves in reality", it's cleaner.
