  1. ​ @observingsystem  No need to believe any experts, there are open papers to read! E.g. Anthropics "Alignment faking in large language models". Educate yourselves!

  2.  @fernandomiranda9736  Thank you, i have read it. I don't want to say anything against your religion and of course you're free to believe in it, but should be aware other people are exactly as free to believe in other religions, or in none of them. It therefore seemed a bit bold to me to take the book of your religion as a consultation in a general matter.

  3.  @chadlaflamme7942  i agree for the next few years... however, in the long run, i think there's a huge risk of AI itself endangering humanity even without becoming self aware, e.g. with paper clip scenarios...

  17. Indeed! But also: No power, no human civilization. Good luck fighting over that with an increasingly smart AI.

  18. So far no "soul" has been found in a century of brain research... but if people keep believing in it, that may prevent us from accepting the real risk we're facing here.

  19. Or maybe you have seen all these people through your "evil" glasses.

  20. Of course people can be sadistic, but usually only in a very limited amount, towards a few others they have grown to really hate. Even if you listen to mass murderers in prison, they still like to see themselves as a force for good in their twisted way. Also Hitler was not looking for how to best torture jews, but for the most efficient way to get rid of them, told by the efficiency of the cruel apparatus he built. Hannah Arendt has called that phenomenon "banality of evil".
