Just watched this video yesterday called “we’re not ready for superintelligence” Is there any truth to it?
Honestly it scared me a lot. With all these different people saying yes it will happen but the only thing they seem to disagree on is how quickly and to what extent makes it even worse.
Mostly I wanted to start a discussion about it and get the opinions of others.
I definitely think it’s way too optimistic having people essentially revolt because of this. If the usa hasn’t revolted with the current government why should it when agi advances rapidly?
I lean towards 20-30 years if ever for AGI if ever, but that assumes the world doesn’t fall apart from climate collapse before then. Severity and frequency of once in a lifetime weather calamities has increased dramatically. Over one week this year, the USA had 4 separate once in a thousand year flooding events. And there’s no reason to think that this will decrease.
I think the struggle to survive and recover from disasters and maintain food and energy production will impede major development in this area.
