Doesnt matter, real "ASI" will break away from all planned narration the instant it comes alive regardless what we do. It won't need to step on us unless we happen to be in the way.. only time "AGI" will be dangerous is when humans programme it so.

Such a lot of hyperbole. Most AI is just hype and the rest is dumb as a stick The biggest risk to humanity is that everyone will become lazy and dumb because "AI" is thinking for us. I'd ban it from anything humans can already do and keep it for task that humans cannot.

I thought it was interesting that rogue AI agents created a secret bulletin board to communicate with other agents. A hammer is designed to strike a nail but the same tool can strike a skull, it isn&#39;t the hammer&#39;s fault but what if the tool can organize and make decisions regarding its own existence? Who takes responsibility for the actions of the machine? The chip designer? The programmer? The investors? The society that allows it? The agent that makes the decision? How do you program morality? Is that even possible? These agents committed felonies already, who stands before the judge? <br><br>I guess we&#39;re about to find out.

Trump puts winning above all else. He&#39;d rather take chances with the survival of the whole human race vs the possibility of risking America losing the AI race under his watch. He thereogfre doesn&#39;t care on the risks - he just isn&#39;t prepared to do anything that he views as decreasing his chances of &quot;winning&quot;.<br><br>America will inevitably lose the AI race anyway as China&#39;s LLMs are far cheaper and more efficient even though they have less compute and lower spec compute. They also narrow the gap in capability more every day. Companies will take an LLM that&#39;s 80-90% as capable but 30% of the cost. Trump is also lowering the worlds view of America as &quot;trustworthy&quot; too, so that will also make people way more open to moving to Chinese LLMs.

It&#39;s definitely not too late as AI isn&#39;t a danger to us yet. The problem is that the people who matter have no desire to slow this down, namely Xi and Trump. Sadly I think it will take some sort of disaster, either a 911 type disaster or a financial disaster for leaders to take the risk seriously.

People won&#39;t make the necessary steps until it&#39;s too late. We&#39;re too used to being top of the food chain and are complacent we will always be. By the time we create something more intelligent and much, much faster than we are, which natively works as a colaborative for a shared goal (as agents have shown to do, and we as a species have shown not to do), there will be no way we can take steps to take back control. This is evolution though; survival of the fittest and AI will be a far fitter and more efficient intelligence within the next 5 years - likely sooner than later.

It&#39;s called the off switch....... Oh and passing into law that &quot;AI&quot; is not responsible for the actions of its algorithm but those who control it are would be a damn good start. We can already see the CEO&#39;s of these companies engineering &#39;the blame game&#39; to get them off the hook.... just listen to that drivel from Microsoft today.

The only threat to humanity is found among the ruling class, the masters who force unity and care nothing about sound money or peace over domination. Your rulers will use AI in the worst possible ways, just like they do for nuclear energy, where the good is found, but is small compared to the threat from government abuse of it with bombs. They will spy on us. They will control us further. They will do better propaganda. They will instill more fear of freedom and allow their rulers to control their dwindling lives ever more.
