        Positive outcome for who? Humans? Only way to ensure that is if *we* get smarter and stop behaving in parasitic, destructive, bad-guy ways.

        Good insights but it sounds like a catch-22 situation. Intelligent AI won't be really intelligent unless it entails catastrophic risks.

        Something claimed to be "smarter than human" being outsmarted by? ...regular old humans. By definition, unknowable future threats. Need?

        We can solve any problem we face. I see no "need" for ASI, but I see greed and a weapons race behind it, as well as an existential threat.

        Precisely. The original post is about anticipating that and putting in measures to prevent/minimize the risk. Not silly.

        Here are some AI generated nude portraits I've been working on🍑 Usually the machine just paints people as blobs of flesh with tendrils and limbs randomly growing out - I think it's really surreal. I wonder if that's how machines see us... pic.twitter.com/tYgzCHGfse

        Can't we just build a self-depreciating, depressed AI, like that robot from Hitchhiker's Guide?

        Sam, if we build smart AI will it be able to finally answer our moral dilemmas? Also, what if we build 2 of them - will they agree?
