| You're throwing random "objections" with no elaboration, which doesn't prove anything. > - Replace 'AI' with 'God', does it still make sense? Maybe in some cases. So what? God is a fairly broad concept in many people's imaginations. > - Exponents still take time. 2^33 to get to current world population with no hitches. It's certainly a fairly contested topic in AI safety - how fast will this thing happen? Are we talking seconds? Hours? Months? Years? There are at least some valid reasons to think it will be on the faster timescale, so not sure saying that exponents take time is a big counterargument. > - Solomonoff / Bekenstein / Gödel - name your favorite limiting theorem. I don't think anyone who's well versed in any of these theorems believes that they have anything at all to say about this. As a simple counterargument - whatever limiting theorem "limits" an AI, can similarly "limit" us. > - Was any force ever able to get close to world domination? At one point in history the US had nuclear power and no one else had it. Was that edge enough? I think others have pointed it out, but as compared to the rest of life on the planet, humans are exactly such a force. |
