Yeah, I'm no gambler, but I do have a hundred grand and countless hours invested in a business I'm trying to make work.

Yeah but there is only one species that ponders its future.

I stopped reading at this point because I reject this initial assertion, and I assumed everything that follows is based on it.

There is nothing to suggest that an AGI will care about its future or who controls it. (whatever that means). that just more anthropomorphism.

We care a lot about our future so an ai pretending to be like us will also pretend to care. But we have a lot of biology driving us. Our emotions (Fear, Hate, Love, Pride etc) are baked into us in a way just wont be the same for ai.

Heaps of comments here but nobody has pointed out he defined the goal after defining the problem. That's cheating.

Step one is to define the goal. Then you work out how to reach the goal. (Gather information and form a hypothesis) Then you take steps toward the goal. (Test your hypothesis to make sure you stepped in the right direction.)

You know you are getting old when Acronym's change on you.

I think this is a very interesting topic to discuss, and its a shame there is not more detail about how each policy is implemented, or how they might interact with the many other compounding issues we are dealing with.

I would love an opportunity to take my pet ideas and tune them for better scores. To take the data and run it through the AI again over and over.

I would also like to tune the scenario to consider the consequences of thousands of competing AGI's, getting serious about fixing the climate, and the danger of idle hands.

Yeah, but you never _need_ reduce. You can just have a boring loop.

I like boring code.

no, but, you could write a program, more like a traditional video game AI that can leverage the power of LLM agents to build their own datacenters and keep their own lights on.

Anybody who has played Starcraft ought to understand this.

I dabbled with this 10-15 years ago.

I always ignore all numbers on the dashboard. All I care about is how much I paid, and how much revenue went up in following weeks.

I never could quite get that number positive.

It's not really that abstract. You smash the shit out of a cardboard box and candy comes out. Breaking things is not fun. I also hate youtube videos of people breaking stuff for fun.
