> “Should we develop nonhuman minds that might eventually outnumber, outsmart, obsolete and replace us? Should we risk loss of control of our civilisation?”
If we could control civilization, we wouldn’t have all the issues we have. Developing AI further is not going to change that
The problem is people, not AI
Also, we have already clearly developed technology that outnumber, outsmart and replace us, and it’s what drives pretty much the whole Internet
A vast part of what we consume everyday online is managed by AI, and no single person or entity can stop it
Is the point here that we already can't control civilization, so we don't have to worry about AI interfering with our ability to control civilization? Is it really impossible to imagine us having even less control over civilization - and that being a bad thing?
