📎🤖💀 Forget losing your job. The real nightmare is AI turning us into paperclips. Philosopher Nick Bostrom warned of superintelligence gone rogue, Musk called it scarier than nukes, and Silicon Valley still treats it like gospel. The fear is simple: build the wrong brain, and humanity’s toast. #PaperclipMaximizer https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/nick-bostrom-interview-ai-super-intelligence-b1244915.html

There's something very paperclip maximizer-y about this whole thing.

Is a sufficiently advanced and profit oriented system/bureaucracy indistinguishable from an unaligned, rogue AI?

Hat tip to @pluralistic's latest essay for making me see something in a new light; the paperclip maximizer AI thought experiment by Nick Bostrom.

AI isn’t falling into the wrong hands – it’s being built by them

These are essential, urgent questions that will require input from a wide diversity of voices – especially of those who are most likely to be imperilled by the use of AI
