Comment on AGI Doom and the Drake Equationparent

Comments

societies have many mechanisms to reduce the amount of ethical pluralism such as laws, conventions & customs, peer pressure, religions and so on

Constrain, yes. The same way we would seek to constrain a paperclip-maximising LLM.

Any AI smart enough to become a classical paperclip maximizer is smart enough to hide its abilities and intentions until humans no longer have the ability to constrain it.

That means we need to setup hidden societies with enormous capabilities to strike at potential runaway AGIs. Free Masons with EMPs!
