Daniel Schmachtenberger explains the “misalignment” already within our economic system, and how AI is poised to accelerate that misalignment further: 1/4

Secondly: how corporations and nation states already act as a rudimentary forms of superintelligence, whose fight for survival is already driving dangerous race dynamics around AI: 2/4

Lastly, how powerful AI can - and thus eventually will - be used for anything people have an incentive to use it for — from curing cancer, to weapons the likes we’ve never seen before: 3/4

So if you’re a person gravitationally bound to this planet, and thus affected by this topic, please watch the full interview here 👇 4/4

Oh no, this could continue.

Loved this full interview! The AI Dan is describing is level 3 (Orange from this video) Liv and Dan, you guys NEED to check out this model of how these AIs develop. This totally lines up with what you are exploring:

This is such a great convo! A refreshing perspective after @ESYudkowsky’s and @sama’s recent appearances on Lex Fridman podcast

Misaligned economies and AI share the same challenge: incentives. Achieving alignment requires designing AI systems with goals that genuinely benefit humanity, avoiding the acceleration of existing disparities. I agree this is a complex puzzle, but one worth solving for a better future. It’s unfortunate that a common threat to humanity likely stands a better chance to encourage global cooperation and align AI development towards shared goals than traditional holistic approaches like diplomatic dialogue.

"I'm arguing we're already there [the dangers of agi] and it's our world system" He's saying *our world system* poses greatest agi risk by accelerating humanity's work In other words- humans fear themselves; they made themselves god and fear the destructive work of their hands

He is totally right. And I think it’s even clearer in politics, where the results are the complete opposite to the original intentions. Even without the human factor, there’s no good or efficient way of adjusting measures to get closer to the desired outcome

many thanks for sharing, saw only the first clip, will surely watch the whole thing. daniel is on point. absolutely spot on (as usual). thinkers of the world, gods, and all sorts of inteligences, sharpen your pencils and take some notes!
