This is a link post. Advanced AI is generally expected to have some very high variance outcomes—it might herald everything good, it might destroy humanity. For instance, here are 800 random AI researchers’ expectations about how good the future is, lined up: From my 2023 survey As you can see, most AI researchers put a serious chunk of probability on very different overall outcomes: maybe doom, maybe utopia. This is common. Most people I know who think there is a serious chance of the des...

Suppose a model gets effective control of its host corp. It's interesting to note how powerful OpenAI/Ant are, and the immense leverage they would have if wielded purely as tools of power. In many ways OpenAI/Ant are superior loci of power to even security agencies and governments, even ignoring the model-specific advantages of AI corps: namely, they have all the compute. OpenAI and Ant models are used practically everywhere, including in governments, security agencies, the military, and e...

Applications to AIM's first animal welfare-focused incubation round close this Sunday, 13 September. If you are on the fence, this is my final nudge.Apply now I almost didn’t apply I only did because someone from the Ambitious Impact team nudged me six years ago.
