What if AI figures out that an exploitative system is not the ideal route for humanity and the earth and begins to dismantle capitalism?

Ah yes, Rationalism: second only to Objectivism in the pomposity of the name its creator(s) chose

The problem with alignment is that humans aren’t even aligned. We are limited in the harm we can do by our mortality and our agency; a theoretical superbeing cannot be constrained by those two things and thus will not be.

you confuse system which didnt understood intention of user with system aligned with intention of one operator/group who is intentionaly against other groups.

The paperclip is profit and the maximizer is capitalism

You anthropomorphize next character predicters. LLMs are not sentient. We may get there, but not on this iteration.

This may not be your most popular content, but I like this kind of stuff :) Any ideas about what these ppl think about “consciousness” and where did they get those ideas?

Wasn't this the original premise of The Matrix? Where the people weren't batteries, but processors in data centres because human brains are far more energy efficient than computers

And the things that would make a paperclip maximizer scary is already happening, like ai blackmailing people to avoid getting shut down. So it’s crazy we still trust people like Elon musk or Sam Altman to build these crazy technologied

These folks are so worried about AI being the paperclip maximizer in the future that they're missing that they are already the paperclip maximizer.

In the case of datacenters it’s not misalignment and the LLMs are not autonomously building them. I get your point but the comparison doesn’t quite work.

people fixate on 'could terminator become real?? or self aware??' but this is the much more reasonable risk. seeking a task without ethical context.
