Happy that you were honest about it, but paranoia is not healthy.

That much paranoia sounds healthy to me. It is exactly what I would tell my kid when he's old enough to drive. And if I had a daughter (there still a chance!) then I would tell her a bunch of CYA stuff also, probably much of the same things but also different things.

You can always offer to call them a cab or contact the police for them, or give them some money for the bus if its an option. If it is out in the middle of nowhere, the local police will probably help out since this kind of thing probably happens a lot.


Everything you suggested are bandaids

What a weird compromise.

It wasn't

It was built to compute artillery tables. Its first actual use ended up being hydrogen-bomb calculations. (I'm referring of course to ENIAC.)

Okay so we will never reach ASI, or we already have it?

Pick one.


Can you guys just say the quiet part out loud?

That you want slaves. You want slaves. This is what you are asking for.

Unless you're paying the AGI? Then why not just... pay a human that is already present? Much more efficient.


Not sure if you’re insinuating that I’m one of the capitalists? I’m not, that’s why I’m saying it out loud. I believe capitalism’s relationship with labor will need to fundamentally change if AGI and robotics takeover. I don’t know what that looks like but obviously the current capitalist overlords want everything to stay the same - just for them to have more power/money.

What is this "everyone" running from?

Collapse of return on investment

Scared or insecure

Nice! You got two!

Silent?

You guys keep trying to put a pillow over our face.
