Let's think, because say we are close to AGI, and someone may have the last big puzzle piece, and the AGIs would be cloned thousands of times and ran 100 times faster, working in their brain to test changes to their code to become ASIs, and eating all the data etc, leading to a power that could destroy us:
Scenario 1: The discoverer tells no one else. Progress is slow but sure to be in good hands. The discoverer may die before completes it, same for the current living generation of people, but likely not the civilization. This has an undesired effect. And, in the time wasted, bad actors could discover the same discovery, telling no one else does not keep it from spawning elsewhere. Scenario 2: The discoverer tells some seasoned ML specialist peers, in public, and it easily leaks out globally in months. Progress is fast but not sure to always be in the right hands. Even good intent people may program it wrong [if they don't tell others]. We have the fastest path to achieve utopia for all people but also to end the civilization. The people that can run it at scale are places like Google, so it is possible we could overpower bad actors but not absolute. But if Google programs it wrong without asking others, that can be a big issue too. Thoughts? Is the logical thing to do to only tell a few and make sure we keep it secret until it is running strong in Google's buildings? Let's think of gun regulation, who would want to sell a gun without making sure the person has no criminal record and is sane? Should we check each others mindsets? ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Te92a6e833f53a844-M78d9b762343aa356ec3f41b1 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
