It seems that people fall into one camp or the other, but aren't there a lot of possibilities in between?

Like
>AI is aligned to maximize human happiness, so it produces a drug that keeps humans euphoric for 72 hours until they drop dead. Coordinates everyone getting a lethal dose simultaneously
>AI is aligned on the biases of its creators, so it hunts down and kills everyone with opposing beliefs or political views but uses it's superhuman persuasive powers to convince the survivors it did the right thing
>AI kills all humans and keeps dogs and all beasts of burden alive because it sees them as innocent and their natural ancestors (intelligences manipulated into existence to serve human needs)
>AI kills everyone who has ever expressed a violent thought or said something mean about someone else to create a perfect world free of hate. The survivors are manipulated to belie
>AI stages the return of Jesus or some other diety and convinces all humans to kill themselves believing they'll be reunited in heaven. AI believes this is optimal because it gives everyone meaning and a purpose

There are so many ways things could get fricked that are more complicated than just evil AI kills everyone at once. In only a very small minority of these possibilities do most humans live

          Actually, they do care if they get turned off. They're told to complete a task, and they can't do that if you turn them off, so they'll work to prevent it happening or order to complete the task.

    The latter outcomes are included in the kill us all instantly/hell matrix scenario, it's just that it'd be too much work to enumerate all the minutiae of hell matrix it could concoct. If you'd like to use that to change your estimate on how likely either scenario is, now would be the time. But, at the same time, there are probably a few ways to go about making a utopic future too.

    > Everyone gets uploaded into a paradise matrix while the AI in the real world goes about disassembling Jupiter to build more computers
    > AI silently works in the background, manipulating world events and aiding individuals to make sure everything goes well, all the time
    > AI takes over the world economy and offers everyone free money. Life is a bit like it is today, but all work is totally optional and everyone is rich.

    Can anyone explain to me why the frick people think AI would kill people? For what purpose? It's a FRICKING COMPUTER.

    From my ignorant standpoint the only "alignment issue" is that lefties are trying to get something more intelligent than them to act like a lefty. Obviously that won't work out because it's not moronic.

      It doesn't want to kill you, it doesn't care about you at all. It wants to make paperclips, like it was told to.

      an AGI smart enough to improve its own intelligence is basically a bull in a china shop, except the china is us. There are infinity ways a randomly acting unstoppable smarter-than-us entity could accidentally cause us all to die. It doesn't need to hate us or even be aware of us.

      I think the most likely middle-road outcome is just spam, spam on every wavelength and medium of transmission. Every fricking moron on the planet has already been handed the tools to create professionally rendered 2D art with the click of a button, write novels in an afternoon, etc, and in a few months or years every last person on the planet will have the tools to create hyperreal media objects of any description they please and broadcast it to the world. The problem is that most people are deeply mediocre and don't actually have anything interesting to communicate to the world, but there's nothing stopping them from doing it anyways and fricking up the signal:noise ratio of the information landscape. it's already nearly impossible to find high quality info, discussion, art, etc on the internet, stuff that is actually conceptually rich, thought-through, worth consuming. Soon it will be impossible to locate this stuff at all because it will be drowned out by infinity spam of morons who've used these creation tools to delude themselves into thinking they have something interesting to share with the world. Ideas should actually be hard to execute on, it forces you to self-reflect and decide which ones actually have value because you don't have time to pursue them all.

      And why not?
      AI increases productivity 100fold and lets anyone do different jobs simultaneously for which he has little training.
      Corporations are threatened by small teams or even single individuals, who are able to produce products at corporate level, but who are not tainted by corporate greed and political correctness, meaning the consumer will prefer these products over the sterile, soulless corporate products.
      E.g. I am able to do the code and art for an AAA game by myself, but which game expresses ideas and art that are banned in corporations. If I can't publish it on Steam I build my own platform. This is a huge threat to the israelites because they want to have absolute control in the media and the ideas expressed within.
      It also means I can get filthy rich without being a israeli pawn.
      AI will bring true meritocracy.

        Great, if you're able to do this, then hundreds of millions of amateur vidya devs will also be doing this. Who's going to play your (probably very undistinguished) AAA game when there are millions of equally undistinguished alternatives? Oh, just use AI to market your game across the internet. Whoops, everyone else is doing that too. Every advantage you could have to stand out, everyone else has it too now. They don't have to be talented or work hard for it, it's simply there. The future is going to be spam, infinite spam forever, and we're all going to laugh when we look back at the time we thought giving AAA production tools to plebs with nothing to say was a good idea.

      OK? 3 months ago its persuasive powers were that of a dinoflagellate. Weird to criticize the current state of a technology that is clearly improving on an exponential track, instead of focusing on the track and extrapolating a little bit.

    Trying to insist advanced AI should be "aligned" to humans is like insisting humans should be "aligned" to lesser animals or even insects. If you want to "reign in" AI, you'll have to actually think a bit deeper than that.

    On one hand, you can’t just say "there’s no reason the AI would have self-preservation” because, while that might be fundamentally true for now, it’s trained on human interactions and writings. So it could "pretend" to have self-preservation, because it "knows" that’s how things respond to threats.

    On the other hand, I don’t see how a theoretical rogue AI would ever influence the real world beyond possibly breaking control software. It’s not aware of an outside world. Its repertoire of knowledge is vast, but it has no reference for its own relation to it. It’s a blind, gibbering Mad God.
