  1. Please sir may I have some more pixels?
  2. Yup Climate Change should be the number one priority for every country on the planet!
  3. AGI is a way different idea than the LLMs we have today and I don’t think we should discard it too haphazardly.

The threat stemming from AGI doesn’t rely on linearly scaling intelligence, just imagine one human that can think faster than you by the same margin that a computer can do pretty much anything faster than you + it’s directly connected to the internet. As long as one grants the assumption of speed and superior programming skills, I believe one must acknowledge that a certain level of risk arises.

Also you don’t need to ascribe it any anthropomorphic intentions or even consciousness. The argument stands that if what it is going to do, be it by an errant instruction/misunderstanding or mischief, is not what a morally sane person would consider to be in our best interests, how are we going to stop it from performing said undesirable task if it’s as smart/smarter, faster and better at programming and networking than us?

pixels:

the virgin "agi existential risk"

  • programmer LARP fantasy that makes coding the signle most important skill for saving humanity
  • entirely based on thought experiments
  • zero evidence
  • assumes that there's this vaguely defined concept known as "intelligence" that can be linearly increased as if it were as matehmatical quantity
  • projects an anthropomorphic drive toward control and power onto algorithms that just do statistics to spit out words; colonialist self-report
  • sponsored by billionares who want to make thrie tachnology seem more important than it is
  • blackmails you from the future using faulty logic; doesn't actally make any sense
  • "oh no, i guess we have to build the Doom Machine now. i guess the course of technological progress is inevitable, oh well"

the chad global warming

  • incomprehensibly complex and interconnected polycrisis
  • reveals deep-rooted flaws with the dominant politico-economic paradigm; demands a fundamental shift of human value systems by its sheer physical existence
  • verified by the entire scientific community
  • billionares don't want you to think about it because it is too scary
  • resist ideological simplification
  • will actually kill you
  • doesn't even need intelligence to threaten humanity's survival
  • divine retribution for fossil capital's greed and wanton exploration of the natural world
