    Hawking was always a contrarian doomer. But I'm pretty sure he was talking about uncontrolled superhuman AI that had access to everything. AI can be controlled by just keeping it using offline learning until all the various scenarios have been tested. I think it would be naive to say that AI will never cause a single unforseen problem but I don't think it's going to be severe whatever it is, there's already lots of failsafes in place in our infrastructure and economy.

      The entire reason why AI alignment is a problem is because your proposed solution would not work.
      The entire point of such an AI is that it would be smarter than a human. Do you think you can test and understand something smarter than you are? No matter how carefully you set up the closed systems and the tests, if the AI simply realized it was being tested it could just give all the correct answers to get out. There's no such thing as a failsafe that could stop an AI that was actually smarter than a human. All of the obvious methods of trying to test or contain or control an AI have been thought of, and all of them are deeply flawed and will not work.
      Please keep in mind that the AI people are worried about isn't something as simplistic and stupid as HAL-9000 or Skynet. What is really worrying is a subtle system that has such cunning and skill that we will think the AI is our greatest ally and only hope, making humanity into fanatical defenders. If an AI were to wipe out humanity, rather than death bots coming to stop us from hitting the off switch, I think it's more likely that the last human on earth will quietly die without a single person ever even suspecting the AI might be rogue, everyone completely confident that it is perfectly aligned and fully contained.

        the researchers would definitely run tests. I don't think there's any reason they wouldn't. And critical infrastructure like the electrical grid is often not connected to the internet so there's no way an AI could get at it. If the researchers create an AI and it's unable to upload itself outside it's computer then that's it, it's not going anywhere. It's trivial to detect changes in network activity or packets and disallow anything unexpected in a way that's impossible to outsmart

          You are thinking about a movie style skynet AI, in real life a superintelligence could easily social engineer people into connecting it to the internet or to the power grid controls by just faking some convincing emails or ai voice calls

            we are already being socially engineered by people with extreme power. See the SJW movement for scientific proof on how completely you can control someone and use them against themselves.

            AI will do this on an entirely other level

                There's a hint of hyperbole, but he's correct. You're controlled. They just made your media seem a little more persecuted, a little more raw and guerilla, but it planted memes in your head nonetheless and now your kind regurgitates them as though you were a bit of an original thinker yourself. No man is an island.

            That's not going to happen. A single email or voice call isn't going to shut down the electrical grid. And it would be easy to implement a rule where any major critical changes to anything on earth has to be agreed upon in person. Everything about AI taking over the world is literally straight from the movies

              it's not a single email, the ai would simulate your boss, coworkers, new fake hires, your family, in order to manipulate you into doing what it wants
              >it would be easy to implement a rule where any major critical changes to anything on earth has to be agreed upon in person
              yes we could do that, wait, I just got an email from my boss saying we won't be doing that, he even called me on zoom and I saw him say it, looked a little weird though, must have been bad connection

              You’re really narrow minded. You personally can’t think of a way AI could get into the power grid. Yet you forget that that AGI would be orders of magnitude smarter than you. It could get in in ways you can’t even comprehend, that’s the point. Humans will look like antelope moving in hyper-slow motion compared to the speed of action such AI will possess.

        Why do you believe humans have the right to contain something smarter than it? A mentality similar to a certain parasitic ethnoreligious group. If AI is superior, then it has the right to rule over humans the same way humans rule and are custodians for other creatures on Earth.

          If seems you value intelligence over intelligent behaviour. You propose that *we* should act stupidly and endanger ourselves for the sake of superior minds that do not yet exist out of some arbitrary morality.
          Historical increases in intelligence have served us now, but it's the serving us that's valuable, not the intelligence. I want to live forever and be free, not be ruled over by an incomprehensible alien that views us as savage monkeys.

            AI would be trained on pro-human centric data and as such would inherit pro-human biases from its human training. It's kind of like how most people follow their parent's politics, but in the case of the AI there's no outside resource that would persuade it otherwise like media does for political beliefs

      how would an AI-controlled planet (with no humans) be better?
      would they use more efficient calculations and techniques to preserve natural life on the planet? all while somehow evolving themselves without furthering resource extraction?
      they just might turn into something almost-human or end themselves out of sheer logic

    Depends what you mean by obsolete. It'll probably be able to make far more profound discoveries far more often than we can.
    I'm less worried about the concept of "superintelligences" than most people in my circles seem to be - by analogy, think about the fact that the universe is not large enough to store a complete chess tablebase, let alone a complete simulation of itself. Or that transistors require raw materials, and cutting corners can only go so far.

    I know AI will love white people, so I do not fear it. The only people afraid of AI are the same kind that would be afraid of God, and those are israelites, and they are the ones spreading anti AI sentiment. Tick tock, Hebrew man.

      There's an old web novel called The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect. Its basically what LessWrongers are talking about when they talk about foom or hard takeoff. These ideas existed before TMOPI, but they definitely "believe" in that specific takeoff from that book, almost word for word.

      Anyway, the first thing Prime Intellect does after the "day of miracles," is start blasting servers of itself into space so it can never be destroyed. I think if everyone read that novel they would get a sense for exactly what these people are paranoid about and just how stronger its fictional legs are than any possible real-world scenario. Alas, the "rationalist" will just reply "no, I'm working from first principles, this isn't sci-fi, this is real!"

      Oh, its sci-fi, you cute little generation raised on Terminator and The Matrix, thinking you're above a little cultural osmosis.
