It's only a matter of time before someone harnesses AGI to enslave the planet and declare totalitarian rule. Perhaps even by accident.
I haven't been able to get this off of my mind lately because it's inevitable.
Physicists made nuclear things that do amazing things like power all of our refrigerators from hundreds of miles away, but have also killed thousands (Hiroshima) poisoned the environment (Fukushima, Chernobyl) and have essentially made the world a ticking time bomb.
AGI and its surrounding technologies are easily 1000x more powerful than nuclear anything, and absolutely will be abused.
Why does it have to be enslave? I don't think this is a requirement.
I think it's a misconception to think that AGI can even be "infinitely" smart when compared to humans. The distinction is often made that the difference would be at least on the level of a mouse to a man. But what if it isn't?
We barely understand intelligence. There's no way we can be certain of anything here, or if AGI is even possible!
It's cool to think about, but I really doubt that anything is just a "matter of time" :)
Does it matter? In analogy to other types of singularities the technological singularity is commonly defined as a point beyond which predictions about the trajectory of human development aren't possible anymore.
So, by definition beyond that hypothetical point all bets are off and any prediction is guesswork at best.
Frankly, it won't change my trading strategy one bit as long as real people are involved in the markets, I will continue to speculate, after that we'll see...
Without more information, this seems like the most obvious choice. Whatever other companies are using AGI for other purposes, will likely be purchasing it from this company.
- Space exploration
- Anything valuable in end of the world scenarios
