  • This is why AI researchers care so much about “alignment”: building AIs that share genuinely human beliefs and values. If we build a “misaligned” superpowerful AI — an AI with goals that are alien to us — it might sweep humanity away. It could kill everyone deliberately, e.g. to stop us getting in the way of some goal. It could kill everyone in passing, e.g. like we might pave over an anthill to build a road. Either way, everyone dies.

    Ah so they think AI will kill us because capitalism fundamentally does not value human life and thus AI cannot currently be aligned with human beliefs and values because it is funded by shareholder greed.

    That makes more sense now. Too bad no one is gonna fix the larger problem to prevent this. Might as well summon the horsemen now
