No one is paying any attention to Asimov and his three laws of robotics. Fiction of course but without unbreakable restraints an AI might decide humans need redirection and needs to get our attention. If smart enough it could reach out and instantaneously cut everyone off from all bank accounts and financial records. For starters. And it's foolish to think we can build in restraints for something that may greatly surpass human intelligence.

But the Asimov Rules that only apply if you code it to do that.  I have no such illusions the Russians or Chinese will abide by any constraints.

You're right.  Only our own ASI\AGI will protect us against malicious ASI\AGI.  Our human efforts would be pointless.

We would be helpless slaves at the feet of a Chinese ASI.

I understand we have a better chance of controlling our own AI than we do that of foreign enemies. That's not to say we will be able to control our own though. Of course we cannot allow them to have an advantage in this. That will almost surely turn out bad for us.

Nvidia is the leader by far in producing advanced AI hardware. Computer gamers are who made Nvidia successful enough to pursue this. So really computer gamers are responsible for the end of the world, should it come that.

You ever done any sky diving?

If your main chute gets tangled and is hopeless, you have to make the call to take the risk of cutting it loose and taking your chances with he reserve chute.

That might have it's own problems and failures but if the main chute is a guaranteed pancake you take the risk.  There are no guarantees.

Never did any sky diving. Told my wife several years ago that's what I wanted for my birthday. She gave me a guitar instead.

It'd be funny if the video was AI generated.

We're falling behind.

Too many anti-AI Curmudgeons in our society.
