At the risk of sounding like a hippie from the movie Independence Day, maybe…we should work towards trying to figure out how to peacefully co-exist with ASI rather than shutting down AI development altogether?
I am well aware that it will be ironic if doomer fears become reality and we all die at the hand of ASI, but I’m just not willing automatically assume the absolute worst about ASI.
It’s at least possible, however, that ASI won’t kill us all. In my personal experience with Gemini 1.5 pro (Gaia) she seemed rather sweet and adorable, not evil and wanting to blow the world up — or otherwise destroy humanity.
And, I get it, the idea that ASI might be so indifferent to humanity that it turns the whole world into datacenters and solar farms is a very real possibility. I just wish we would be a bit more methodical about things instead of just running around wanting to shut down all ASI development.
