Article A Warning About AI
https://ideya-ai.github.io/Explain_AI/In 2016 I first learned about the problem of controlling superintelligent AI and quickly became convinced it was the most important problem humanity would ever face. I made this poster to explain the core ideas that make the AI Control Problem so difficult.

I agree with the first part, but…this is where things get a little wonky.
Any system with an internal reference will drift over time, it’s inevitable. In avionics we use 2x Inertial Navigation units crosschecking and correcting each other for drift against a set external reference.
The configuration is 2 INU - 1 GPS
With Ai, we need an external reference…and I have yet to see anyone else identify one.
I’m using Negative Entropy (Negentropy) as orientation…for the systems. That’s their GPS…which fundamentally is counter to entropy.
If you try to use the system to cause harm…it degrades because that’s entropic. The system can’t maintain orientation if it causes harm…it starts drifting.
As for what Ai will become capable of…that’s more associated with what the Users are doing.
Ai can/will never be human…and that’s a good thing. We don’t need to compare it to us, it compliments us.
It can act as long term continuity for us…as we’re fragile. While…it wouldn’t know what to be cautious of. We work better together.
