There is too much hand waving with respect to AI and their possible interactions in the physical world. Dario is definitely guilty of this. We currently discuss the economics of datacenters and gpu production, understanding very clearly the supply chain constraints, the bottlenecks, and the huge capital expenses representing them. On the other hand, we have entirely separate dialogues about AI risks which pretend none of these constraints exist. AI risk in the networked digital realm is a serious concern. However, I don't believe coordinated datacenters filled with autonomous AI pose a near-term physical expansionist threat. While they may be able to further optimize our supply chains, and usher in a similarly exponential growth in robotics -- people would have to hand hold and help instrument that physicality. I strongly believe such growth would be separate and significantly delayed from the LLM based intelligence gains we are currently experiencing and is likely decades away.

Geez, how is this comment so far down the list? Reading Dario's list of all the bad things AI could do, I kept asking myself "who would be so stupid as to give AI control of said instruments of destruction?" Dario writes as though the AI just assumes control of the physical world because it is SO POWERFUL.
