I mean maybe you’re just saying that to elicit a longer summary of the book but fine, if “discover gives deathbed confession that he was told to omit a germ that would have been red flag for a lab leak, when investigating the outbreak of 3 new tick diseases 10 miles from the lab that had the tick colony and would have been one of the places they did GoF during the time when documents talk about how they had programs to do bw with arthropods” is highly speculative, then sure

@TheZvi I feel like it might be a deep-cut Yudkowksy troll/homage since there’s a podcast from within the last few years where he’s talking about the future AI that would be to the at-the-time-current ones, as the Sun is to other bodies in the solar system

@Mihonarium @allTheYud (And tbc not saying that you were saying that personal comfort threshold would be sufficient for the field going for it! No strawman intended)

[Adam Stiber @StiberAdam]

I can’t say I never get there (also my own personal comfort level on that is nowhere near sufficient under my own ethics), but like just trying to follow it all as the man in the street man I’m not seeing things that make me think the field is on track for that.

I feel like that world has them anticipating and preventing the whole sycophancy/psychosis thing, knowing what capabilities they’ll have in advanced based on the how/what they train it with, not having all the jailbreaks.

Also probably people understanding minds well enough in general that some methods can reliably can tell you a lot of details about someone’s path through life from a brain scan, probably just flat out curing mental illness, and I’d guess people also being able to do bad and scary things with that level of science of mind

@Noahpinion I mean that would seem pretty in line with every story about magic wish boxes

@Mihonarium @allTheYud Fair but if it wipes out everyone then it needs to literally be zero, seems like the crux of it

[Adam Stiber @StiberAdam]

@Mihonarium @allTheYud I mean you probably do know more of the history of that than me if you know it at all, but was blowing up zero ever on the table?

[Adam Stiber @StiberAdam]

@Mihonarium @allTheYud How do you know there wasn’t that One Totally Not Fair thing you didn’t have a way of knowing about though? Seems like people have blown up a lot of rockets despite having a lot of incentive to blow up as few as possible
