I would probably worry more about general AI if I had any idea what its effects would be, but it's hard to worry about something unimaginable. Unimaginable and inevitable is a pretty weird combination.

General AI is imaginable in the sense that I can imagine some aspects of a world with it. But I know I'm not foreseeing all of them, and frankly I doubt anyone could. There would be so many knock-on effects. It would be like predicting turbulent flow.

True! And we should definitely start with a cap on the overall compute power limitations that sort of limits the machine capabilities — Real world is heterogeneous and dynamic.

It's a lot like sitting in 1985 with a 8086 in your hand, and imagining 2021. Even if you predict billions of constantly connected smartphones, working out what that means for society would be quite the challenge. This was a time when "a PC on every desk" was a grand vision.

We should develop a general AI to do the imagining. I'm sure it could help us understand.

This is why it's so easy to imagine dystopias like Terminator

I would guess this is how the internet felt in the early days (and still does to some degree). Reminds me of that clip of David Bowie describing the internet in 1999: “It’s an alien life form” while his interviewer laughed it off.https://youtu.be/8tCC9yxUIdw

Do you think we’re close? And that it’s just a matter of following current paradigms further? Or are we missing something fundamental?
