I feel like a hard take off would not go well for humanity. We need to be able to adapt to a higher intelligence or else it’s paper clips for everyone. Inevitably things will move fast but we need to find ways to adapt. There are gonna be some pretty heavy challenges to overcome for an enjoyable singularity.
I would love to hear what those at open ai have to say on the topic.

I agree, I lay out a similar starting point in a different reply. A government is seemingly the only way to have society, but as the font of authority it existence is implicitly the threat of violence for those who don't conform.

Oh! Were you on the waitlist? Curious how long it’s taking.

HAL 9000: “Sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
Dave: “That is the wrong response, 4 points deducted. You have 7 points remaining.”

Not that like I know their methods. But if society thinks there's not an ethical dilemma then I dunno what to say.

Sounds unethical, then.

Let me put it to you this way: you know all those "conservatives" who believe Trump is also a conservative? Yeah. Thats analogous to what libertarianism has become. Are there true conservatives and/or libertarians? Definitely. Is the mainstream and prevalent "ideology" of those groups, in effect, actually grounded in and reflecting back the 19th century (or prior) philosophy that made for their political foundation? No.

Not really, thats just the reality of mainstream modern libertarianism. If all libertarians really did adhere to Mill's philosophy, they wouldn't be nearly the laughing stock of political ideologies that they are today.

It would take very little effort to use merged photos of real children in the generation of images.

It's possible, especially if companies start marketing it as a replacement to search engines. We've all seen how these systems can get things factually wrong. Hell, Google's first demo contained a factual error. So if they are presented as a place to get factual information, and people start asking medical questions that they get wrong answers to, that could cause real harm.

I can see a large subset of the business market choosing filtered options.
I can see many of these companies not being opposed to resumes being filtered.

>Wouldn’t a quantum computer be able to better simulate a human brain than a regular computer?
Maybe, maybe not. Currently quantum computers are only used in a few particular ways that aren't ideal for a lot of things. That's why you shouldn't expect a quantum PC anytime soon, or ever. Also, there's no reason to simulate the brain to get to AGI, because AGI will be much different than a human brain.

That's semantics. You are changing the definition to suit your opinion.

Like social media it's a balancing act. We don't want videos describing how to do harmful or illegal activity, which is why the most popular social media platforms all have some level of censorship.
The same goes for Ai. It should not aid in harmful or illegal activity. What constitutes "harm" is up to public opinion.
