I wouldn't mind an AGI to lead us... as long as it has a right attitude. I agree that humans are flawed and many us would take an advance of our positions. An AGI, programmed the right way, could overcome those instincts, but looking at the Earth in this moment... we are not ready to build one. Take a picking the right side for example: our question is whom to fight? Unless we have a clear answer to this question, we are not ready yet to build something that could be thousands times smarter than us. Don't be mystified, intelligence is completely different thing than ethic. Imagine a robot that clues up in a millisecond how to rob all the banks in the world, and you'll realize the fact of intelligence being something different than ethics. Even if we try to build a fair AGI, it is that question that the most of people fail to answer: whom to fight?

Until we have a right answer to this question, I'd settle for domain specific intelligence that solve domain specific problems like finding cures for diseases and improving a quality of life.

Don't get me wrong, but I don't like what I see what's going on right now on the Earth. Take this evening for example. A fest is happening in my village, many of country famous and politics people came to honor the ultimate event: a donkey race. A few thousands of other people came to see this, all of them cheering up competitors that poke donkeys with spurs by kidneys, forcing them to breach their way through the loud crowd, without minding the fear and pain that poor animals are going through. And we are so proud of this event, yelling out how we managed to retain our legacy culture. Does this event even deserve a comment?

So I'm still settling with artificial specific intelligence, just in case.

What you, as AGI researchers can do for yourself is to find an answer to this question: whom to fight? There are four possible answers: 1. everyone; 2. the right guys; 3. the wrong guys; 4. no one. Pick up a wrong answer and we are doomed.

Our only defence against something like this is a good offence… a better AGI.

You mean an open source one, so the game is fair?

Really ahah, I would be terrified if an AGI leads us !! And I think that we will not have to create the AGI, but instead, it will program itself and learns from his mistakes like a 4 years old child. I agree with you, we're clearly not ready to build an AGI, if we do so, we would be enslaved. I feel that researchers are really not taking the right amount of actions concerning AI safety.
Maybe to fight no one is the best recommendation!

AI safety... Really, you can't limit an AI's mind. The only way would be to limit the AI's body, so it's not stronger than a human body. But since it's a machine, it can still easily upgrade its body or upload a copy of its self to... god knows where. So anyway we're fucked.

Now, the "AI vs bigger AI" idea reminds me of the final scene of Batman The Dark Knight, with 2 boats ready to blow each other. Should we really release an open source unbeatable beast just because big companies are investing billions into AI?

One way for evil to win is for good men to stand by and do nothing.

Sorry about your donkeys...ever been to a real bull fight in Mexico?
In the world of AI, it's the thought that counts!

But if we use force, we are the same evil. I'll never get it. Maybe we should occasionally lose our temper and do stupid things like fight. But it is wrong. I think, if aliens are up there somewhere, that is the reason they don't show up. They stay aside, fearing that we would eventually fight them, and they would not return the same force because it's against their laws (or should I say ethics), although they would have means to do it. So they leave. And I don't blame them (if they are near).

The most logic thing someone should do if she doesn't like things around is to get away. The real problem culminates when one is forced to stay. And this temper that humans are loosing here and there shouldn't be an option for an AGI. If it is going to play god, it should behave like one.

Luckily, no. I've heard they forbid those "shows" in Spain. In general, I would be a happy man if we would set all the animals free, to live in (mother) nature. Sure it would not be easy to catch one for lunch, but I'd do it that way, if I have to.

In 1944, americans could have stayed away. I'm happy they did not. I'm happy to live in France, not in Germany. The "get away" behavior is not enough.

But maybe it will not even have to be in a body to control us? In my opinion, the most important is that the AGI has not access to the Internet

Ok, back on the topic, why would "they" cover up the truth? Why masking zimple algorithms? And who are "they"?

No. They aren't, whoever they are.

Maybe they aren't covering things up. Just me and yotamarker are smarter than the rest.
