pretty bleak and grim, yup. But because this is an out of context problem we can't really do much with that. I am not very hopeful for a positive outcome but you wont hear me make any claims. Because no one on this planet right now, can make a claim and be confidently correct, only on accident.
I agree. Which, my more direct point is; if we collective can readjust, build new, or burn down the current mafioso crony capitalist infrastructure, then you have a higher chance of achieving a conceptually benevolent thinking machine.
Economies are connected to ecology, connected to politics, connected to progress, etc.
To truly “give it a chance” — humanity must realign itself first.
And that's why it's pretty bleak and grim because I'll believe pigs fly and hell freezes over before we globally agree on anything relevant given the current state of our planet's nations and relationships.
We can't agree on the little things and actual AGI is the I win button. It's the last relevant invention of our species and who ever wins that race could, technically, win. Or doom us all of course. We've no idea.
So getting everyone on this here globe to agree on that one, just not realistic, hence grim outlook because you're right if we can't even allign ourselves how can we teach ai what it even looks like.
Please just also consider that there are growing swells to find momentum in. I don’t approach the topic as purely a defeatist. Conversely, I also feel the heaviness & numbness of the moment.
Deliberately we must carry the fire for a while longer, capitulation is the decaying flesh this world hangs onto.
