But it has become an essential tool.   *Motivation, Awareness & Experience: AI lacks all 3, but humans don't, so even Artificial Super Intelligence will always need us.   *Maximum Problems: How do we constrain AI from going off the rails? like in the paperclip maximizer problem. The answer lies in our connection to God's reality.   *The Energy Question: While The human brain uses at most 30 Watts to make over 100 trillion connections, no one's even sure what modern AI platforms are consuming... But it's a lot and growing!

The sum spells disaster for the human race in the dystopian world of Meander, which evokes both ancient Greek mythology and near-future science fiction. Meander finds herself destitute in the Underworld with no way to finance escape other than offering her biological potential for surrogate pregnancy up to dubious experimentation in an underground facility. Meanwhile, filmmaker/narrator, Lexi Bass, recounts her experiences of pregnancy and motherhood at the precipice of age 40 and the loss of her own mother shortly after, questioning the future of humanity at the precipice of Artificial General Intelligence and Artificial Super-Intelligence. For more and to connect with us, visit https://www.artsconnectlex.org/art-throb-podcast.html

Why should we consider slowing AI development? Could we slow down AI development even if we wanted to? What is a "minimum viable x-risk"? What are some of the more plausible, less Hollywood-esque risks from AI? Even if an AI could destroy us all, why would it want to do so? What are some analogous cases where we slowed the development of a specific technology? And how did they turn out? What are some reasonable, feasible regulations that could be implemented to slow AI development? If an AI becomes smarter than humans, wouldn't it also be wiser than humans and therefore more likely to know what we need and want and less likely to destroy us? Is it easier to control a more intelligent AI or a less intelligent one? Why do we struggle so much to define utopia? What can the average person do to encourage safe and ethical development of AI?Kat Woods is a serial charity entrepreneur who's founded four effective altruist charities.

Artificial Super Intelligence is het nieuwe focuspunt van techinvesteerder SoftBank, als het aan topman Masayoshi Son. Daarover vertelt Joe van Burik in deze Tech Update. Is Artificial Super Intelligence nu al hét nieuwe buzzword in tech? Eerder deze week haalde ook de bij OpenAI vertrokken medeoprichter Ilya Sutskever het aan, die heeft Safe Superintelligence Inc. opgezet. Bij SoftBank, bekend van onder meer grote investeringen in Alibaba en recenter het geflopte WeWork, is dat ook het nieuwe focuspunt. Dat heeft topman Masayoshi Son gezegd tijdens een event rond Arm, de chips-ontwerper die grotendeels in handen is van SoftBank en vorig jaar voor dé grote beursgang zorgde met een valuering van dik 50 miljard dollar. Dat heeft Son duidelijk geinspireerd, want hij wil nu degene zijn die zorgt dat we 'A S I' krijgen. Concreet moet dat gaan gebeuren met een plan van 100 miljard dollar waarbij het vooral gaat om chips die AI mogelijk maken. Dat zal dus via ontwerpen van Arm moeten gaan, schreef Bloomberg dit voorjaar al over, onder de projectnaam Izanagi. Verder in deze Tech Update: TikTok claimt dat de Amerikaanse overheid niet echt wil kijken naar alternatieven voor het verbod (als de app niet overgenomen wordt door een Amerikaanse bedrijf), blijkt uit documenten ingediend bij de rechtbank Het grote gamebedrijf Embracer wil volop AI gaan inzetten voor de ontwikkeling voor games, wat grote zorgen met zich meebrengt bij makers van gamers zelf See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yale Anthropologist Lisa Messeri spent a year doing field work in Los Angeles in 2018 studying the political ecology of the VR community, and will be releasing her landmark book called In the Land of the Unreal: Virtual and Other Realities in Los Angeles on Friday, March 8th. It's the best book about the culture of VR that I've read so far as it is pulling in many insights from Science and Technology Studies (STS), anthropology, social sciences, sci fi, pop culture, and philosophy. Making claims about reality is daunting for any working scholar in the 21st Century, and Messeri uses the feeling of "unreality" as a analytical tool to analyze not only virtual reality, but also the fracturing nature of our political context, but also the unreality of Los Angeles as the factory of dreams and façade-like architecture that blurs the boundary for what's deeply real vs what's surface scaffolding enough to transport you into another reality. Messeri uses the framing of fantasy to interrogate a number of claims being made by the VR community circa 2018. Fantasy by her definition could include both positive aspirational dreams, but they could also turn out to be deluded illusions. I personally prefer the using the phrase of potential since it is a bit more neutral for me, and includes both the promising positive potentials as well as the more perilous negative potentials. But she splits her book into three parts the Fantasy of Location exploring the unreality of Los Angeles as well as how VR transports you into another world per Mel Slaters place illusion. The second part is the Fantasy of Being deconstructs the VR as the ultimate empathy machine per Chris Milk's infamous 2015 TED Talk. Then the third part explores the Fantasy of Representation with the aspirations of the LA VR community to create a more diverse and equitable ecosystem that transcends the bias and power dynamics of Silicon Valley. In each one of these three sections, Messeri uses case studies and follows specific individuals over time to see whether or not some of these aspirations and potentials end up becoming grounded into physical reality, or whether they end up collapsing into a more deluded illusion. I was inspired to dig into my backlog of 800+ unpublished Voices of VR podcast episodes to publish some interviews that I conducted between 2017-2019 featuring some of the main characters and protagonists featured in Messeri's book: Marci Jastrow is featured in Chapter 3 letting Messeri become a scholar-in-residence at Technicolor Experience Center Carrie Shaw of Embodied Labs is featured in Chapter 5, and radically opens up her business to Messeri to study Jackie Morie is featured in Chapter 6 as Messeri deconstructs some of the gender essentialist claims that VR is a medium that's a natural fit for women. And Joanna Popper is featured in Chapter 7 as Messeri breaks down the unique pathways into emerging technology that she was noting as an interesting trend from an anthropological perspective. I had a chance to read through an advanced copy of In the Land of the Unreal: Virtual and Other Realities in Los Angeles, and it's already started to make a huge impact on the way that I think about the many dimensions of unreality in our present day realities ranging from the surreal experiences of VR presence to the fractured reality bubbles of our political discourse to the ways in which techno-utopian solutionism can impact the philosophies that are driving how technologies like AI are developed aspiring towards speculations of Artificial General Intelligence or Artificial Superintelligence. I even started applying Messeri's unreality analytic to make sense of some of what Alvin Wang Graylin was saying in our discussion about Our Next Reality. I said, "I found myself is this kind of unreality of a potential imaginal future of this post-scarcity, post-labor context where all of our problems have been solved,

The book Our Next Reality: How the AI-powered Metaverse Will Reshape the World is structured as a debate between Alvin Wang Graylin and Louis Rosenberg, who each have over 30 years of experience in XR and AI. Graylin embodies the eternal optimist and leans towards techno-utopian views while Rosenberg voices the more skeptical perspectives while leaning more towards cautious optimism and acknowledging the privacy hazards, control and alignment risks, as well as the ethical and moral dilemmas. The book is the strongest when it speaks about the near-term implications of how AI will impact XR in specific contexts, but starts to go off the rails for me when they start exploring the more distant-future implications of Artificial Superintelligence at the economic and political scales of society. At the same time, both sides acknowledge the positive and negative potential futures, and that neither path are necessarily guaranteed as it will be up to the tech companies, governments, and broader society which path of the future we go down. What I really appreciated about the book is that both Graylin and Rosenberg reference many personal examples and anecdotes around the intersection of XR and AI throughout each of their three decades of experience working with emerging technologies. Even though the book is structured as a debate, they also both agree on some fundamental premises that the Metaverse is inevitable (or rather spatial computing, XR, or mixed reality), and that AI has been and will continue to be a critical catalyst for it's growth and evolution. They both also wholeheartedly agree that it is a matter of time before we achieve either an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) or Artificial Superintelligence (ASI), but they differ on the implications of these technologies. Graylin believes that ASI has the potential to lead humanity into post-labor, post-scarcity, techno-utopian future reality where all of humanity has willingly given up all cultural, political, and economic control over to our ASI overlords who become these perfectly rationally-driven philosopher kings, but yet still see humans as their ancestors via an uncharacteristically anthropomorphized emotional connection with compassionate affinity. Rosenberg dismisses this as a sort of wishful thinking that humans would be able to exert any control over ASI, and that ASI would be anything other than cold-hearted, calculating, ruthless, and unpredictably alien. Rosenberg also cautions that humanity could be headed towards cultural stagnation if the production of all art, media, music, and creative endeavors is ceded over to ASI, and that unaligned and self-directed ASI could be more dangerous than nuclear weapons. Graylin acknowledges the duality of possible futures within the context of this interview, but also tends to be biased towards the more optimistic future within the actual book. There is also a specific undercurrent of ideas and philosophies about AI that are woven throughout Graylin's and Rosenberg's book. Philosopher and historian Dr. Émile P. Torres has coined the acronym "TESCREAL" in collaboration with AI Ethicist Dr. Timnit Gebru that stands for Transhumanism, Extropianism, Singularitarianism, Cosmism, Rationalism, Effective Altruism and Longtermism. Torres wrote an article in Truthdig elaborating on these interconnected bundle of TESCREAL ideologies are the underpinnings of many of the debates about ASI and AGI (with links included in the original quote): At the heart of TESCREALism is a “techno-utopian” vision of the future. It anticipates a time when advanced technologies enable humanity to accomplish things like: producing radical abundance, reengineering ourselves, becoming immortal, colonizing the universe and creating a sprawling “post-human” civilization among the stars full of trillions and trillions of people. The most straightforward way to realize this utopia is by building superintelligent AGI.

Jim talks with Trent McConaghy about the ideas in his recent essay "bci/acc: A Pragmatic Path to Compete with Artificial Superintelligence." They discuss the meaning of BCI (brain-computer interfaces) and acc (accelerationism), categories of AI, how much room there is for above-human intelligence, whether AI is achieving parallelism, the risks of artificial superintelligence (ASI), problems with deceleration, AI intelligences balancing each other, decentralized approaches to AI, problems with the "pull the plug" idea, humans as the weak security link, the silicon Midas touch, competing with AI using BCIs, the need for super-high bandwidth, the noninvasive road to BCIs, realistic killer apps, eye tracking, pragmatic telepathy, subvocalization, reaching adoption-level quality, the arc between noninvasive and full silicon, near-infrared sensors, issues around mass adoption of implants, maintaining cognitive liberty, the risk of giving malevolent ASIs the keys to the kingdom, whether humans plus ASIs might compete with ASIs, and much more.

In Episode #13, “Uncontrollable AI” TRAILER John Sherman interviews Darren McKee, author of Uncontrollable: The Threat of Artificial Superintelligence and the Race to Save the World. In this Trailer, Darren starts off on an optimistic note by saying AI Safety is winning. You don't often hear it, but Darren says the world has moved on AI Safety with greater speed and focus and real promise than most in the AI community had thought was possible. Apologies for the laggy cam on Darren! Darren's book is an excellent resource, like this podcast it is intended for the general public. This podcast is not journalism. But it's not opinion either. This show simply strings together the existing facts and underscores the unthinkable probable outcome, the end of all life on earth. For Humanity: An AI Safety Podcast, is the accessible AI Safety Podcast for all humans, no tech background required. Our show focuses solely on the threat of human extinction from AI. Peabody Award-winning former journalist John Sherman explores the shocking worst-case scenario of artificial intelligence: human extinction. The makers of AI openly admit it their work could kill all humans, in as soon as 2 years. This podcast is solely about the threat of human extinction from AGI. We'll meet the heroes and villains, explore the issues and ideas, and what you can do to help save humanity. Resources: Darren's Book https://www.amazon.com/Uncontrollable...

Sample letter/email to an elected official: Dear XXXX- I'm a constituent of yours, I have lived in your district for X years. I'm writing today because I am gravely concerned about the existential threat to humanity from Artificial Intelligence. It is the most important issue in human history, nothing else is close. Have you read the 22-word statement from the Future of Life Institute on 5/31/23 that Sam Altman and all the big AI CEOs signed? It reads: "Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war." Do you believe them? If so, what are you doing to prevent human extinction? If not, why don't you believe them? Most prominent AI safety researchers say the default outcome, if we do not make major changes right now, is that AI will kill every living thing on earth, within 1-50 years. This is not science fiction or hyperbole. This is our current status quo. It's like a pharma company saying they have a drug they say can cure all diseases, but it hasn't been through any clinical trials and it may also kill anyone who takes it. Then, with no oversight or regulation, they have put the new drug in the public water supply. Big AI is making tech they openly admit they cannot control, do not understand how it works, and could kill us all. Their resources are 99:1 on making the tech stronger and faster, not safer. And yet they move forward, daily, with no oversight or regulation. I am asking you to become a leader in AI safety. Many policy ideas could help, and you could help them become law. Things like liability reform so AI companies are liable for harm, hard caps on compute power, and tracking and reporting of all chip locations at a certain level. I'd like to discuss this with you or someone from your office over the phone or a Zoom. Would that be possible? Thanks very much. XXXXXX Address Phone

This episode should be of special interest to anyone who is human.  There is only one topic for this episode.  That topic is A.I. and A.S.I.  Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Super Intelligence.   I am not trying to scare you only prepare you for what our future holds for us.

In this episode, our subject is Uncontrollable: The Threat of Artificial Superintelligence and the Race to Save the World. That's a new book on a vitally important subject.The book's front cover carries this endorsement from Professor Max Tegmark of MIT: “A captivating, balanced and remarkably up-to-date book on the most important issue of our time.” There's also high praise from William MacAskill, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oxford: “The most accessible and engaging introduction to the risks of AI that I've read.”Calum and David had lots of questions ready to put to the book's author, Darren McKee, who joined the recording from Ottawa in Canada.Topics covered included Darren's estimates for when artificial superintelligence is 50% likely to exist, and his p(doom), that is, the likelihood that superintelligence will prove catastrophic for humanity. There's also Darren's recommendations on the principles and actions needed to reduce that likelihood.Selected follow-ups:Darren McKee's websiteThe book UncontrollableDarren's podcast The Reality CheckThe Lazarus Heist on BBC SoundsThe Chair's Summary of the AI Safety Summit at Bletchley ParkThe Statement on AI Risk by the Center for AI SafetyMusic: Spike Protein, by Koi Discovery, available under CC0 1.0 Public Domain Declaration

The crew gets to interview TRC's very own Darren McKee, author of the critically acclaimed book, ‘Uncontrollable: The Threat of Artificial Superintelligence and the Race to Save the World'. We chat about the challenges of writing a first book, some of the key takeaways, and have a few laughs along the way.

This week… OpenAI lays out safety measures for dealing with Artificial Super Intelligence, Google's Deepmind solved a previously impossible math problem & then we made Guy Fieri cartoons with Domo's AI animation software. These are all of equal importance!  Plus, Gavin dove into Digi.AI a new AI “companion” app, ChatGPT turned a Chevy dealership's chatbot into a hilarious nightmare & Google Labs has some incredibly cool new music tools you can play with right now. AND THEN… It's an A4H Interview with Twitch Steamer & Podcaster Gina Darling whom Kevin got to know well at G4. We talk about AI companionship, get AI to help her buy gifts for her boyfriends parents and introduce her to AI Gina Darling (surprise!) Oh and don't forget our AI co-host this week, we're actually visited by AI Santa Claus and his lil head elf Max. Santa tells us about how they're using AI to automate the North Pole but, unfortunately, he forgot to tell Max and the rest of the elves.  It's an endless cavalcade of ridiculous and informative AI news, AI tools, and AI entertainment cooked up just for you.

What sorts of existential threats have we not yet even imagined? Why is there a failure of imagination among the general populace about AI safety? How can we make better decisions under uncertainty and avoid decision paralysis? What kinds of tribes have been forming lately within AI fields? What are the differences between alignment and control in AI safety? What do people most commonly misunderstand about AI safety? Why can't we just turn a rogue AI off? What threats from AI are unique in human history? What can the average person do to help mitigate AI risks? What are the best ways to communicate AI risks to the general populace?Darren McKee (MSc, MPA) is the author of the just-released Uncontrollable: The Threat of Artificial Superintelligence and the Race to Save the World.

Wondering what the heck is going on with AI?  Why are some people so concerned? Darren's new beginner-friendly book Uncontrollable: The Threat of Artificial Superintelligence and the Race to Save the World addresses exactly those questions. In an engaging and easy-to-read style, it explores the promise and peril of advanced AI, why it might be a threat, and what we can do about it. No technical or science background required!  Available on: Amazon US  Amazon Canada and many other Amazon marketplaces as well.  

If that voice sounds familiar it is because Darren McKee is the regular intro voice of Canada's long running and well regarded Reality Check podcast. When he's not podcasting, he is a policy advisor in Ottawa. Darren has recently published a very timely book on AI called Uncontrollable: The Threat of Artificial Superintelligence and the Race to Save the World (US Amazon link). We talk about his book and AI's past, present, and possible futures. Is AI like a more efficient tractor that will destroy some jobs but create more? Or is it something dot dot dot else?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Announcing New Beginner-friendly Book on AI Safety and Risk, published by Darren McKee on November 25, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Concisely, I've just released the book Uncontrollable: The Threat of Artificial Superintelligence and the Race to Save the World It's an engaging introduction to the main issues and arguments about AI safety and risk. Clarity and accessibility were prioritized. There are blurbs of support from Max Tegmark, Will MacAskill, Roman Yampolskiy and others. Main argument is that AI capabilities are increasing rapidly, we may not be able to fully align or control advanced AI systems, which creates risk. There is great uncertainty, so we should be prudent and act now to ensure AI is developed safely. It tries to be hopeful. Why does it exist? There are lots of useful posts, blogs, podcasts, and articles on AI safety, but there was no up-to-date book entirely dedicated to the AI safety issue that is written for those without any exposure to the issue. (Including those with no science background.) This book is meant to fill that gap and could be useful outreach or introductory materials. If you have already been following the AI safety issue, there likely isn't a lot that is new for you. So, this might be best seen as something useful for friends, relatives, some policy makers, or others just learning about the issue. (although, you may still like the framing) It's available on numerous Amazon marketplaces. Audiobook and Hardcover options to follow. It was a hard journey. I hope it is of value to the community.

Sam Altman, the founder of the revolutionary application Chat-GPT, is touring Europe with a message: AI is changing the world and there are big risks, but also big potential rewards. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/infocus

Filmmaker Jay Shapiro has produced a new series of audio documentaries, exploring the major topics that Sam has focused on over the course of his career. Each episode weaves together original analysis, critical perspective, and novel thought experiments with some of the most compelling exchanges from the Making Sense archive. Whether you are new to a particular topic, or think you have your mind made up about it, we think you'll find this series fascinating. In this episode, we explore the landscape of Artificial Intelligence. We'll listen in on Sam's conversation with decision theorist and artificial-intelligence researcher Eliezer Yudkowsky, as we consider the potential dangers of AI – including the control problem and the value-alignment problem – as well as the concepts of Artificial General Intelligence, Narrow Artificial Intelligence, and Artificial Super Intelligence. We'll then be introduced to philosopher Nick Bostrom's “Genies, Sovereigns, Oracles, and Tools,” as physicist Max Tegmark outlines just how careful we need to be as we travel down the AI path. Computer scientist Stuart Russell will then dig deeper into the value-alignment problem and explain its importance.   We'll hear from former Google CEO Eric Schmidt about the geopolitical realities of AI terrorism and weaponization. We'll then touch the topic of consciousness as Sam and psychologist Paul Bloom turn the conversation to the ethical and psychological complexities of living alongside humanlike AI. Psychologist Alison Gopnik then reframes the general concept of intelligence to help us wonder if the kinds of systems we're building using “Deep Learning” are really marching us towards our super-intelligent overlords.   Finally, physicist David Deutsch will argue that many value-alignment fears about AI are based on a fundamental misunderstanding about how knowledge actually grows in this universe.
