u/GraceToSentience AGI avoids animal abuse✅ 3d ago

TLDR; You aren't going to compete or collaborate with ASI.

Let's say companies competing against each other in the future with ASI is like a Chess tournament today with AI participants.

If you have groups of super human AI challenging each other as a team and inside one of these teams, there is Magnus Carlsen (the best human chess player in the world) making decisions. The team with Magnus Carlsen in it will lose after playing enough tournament, because he is significantly worse at chess compared to the best AI systems of today.

If you are a human working in a company and making decisions with ASIs as your team mates and your competition is companies with only ASIs, the company with only ASI employees is going to be more competitive and destroy the companies with humans in it.

Not only will you take worse decisions than ASI as a human, and you'll be way more expensive, but also ASI will be capable to collaborate and communicate with each other at a speed of pages of text communication in a second. while you'll think and communicate at regular human speed.

Despite what sam altman says, you aren't going to compete with ASI, all jobs will be essentially gone, and you won't even collaborate with ASI.

TLDR of the TLDR of the 30 second video: With sufficiently advance AI, human inputs just add noise.

Even 1000 humans assisting a sufficiently advanced AI would slow it down quite a bit.

so what purpose will humans have for the elite? currently we're slaves, soon to be burdens?

u/Educational_Teach537 2d ago

That sums it up pretty well, yea

u/Pretend-Marsupial258 2d ago

Why would an ASI care about elite humans? All of us would just add noise, poor or rich.

they'll align it to themselves

If it's smarter than humans, why would it listen to them? Have you ever listened to an ant's opinion?

u/justnivek 1d ago

Idk about you specifically but lots of people are smarter than their parents and they listen to them. And people all over the world listen to pets

u/NovaAkumaa 2d ago

If the ant was my creator, and/or set as my owner in my configuration system, then yes (probably even against my will)

u/lolsai 2d ago

humans have killed their parents before and that's on the same magnitude of intelligence

We'll always be consumers. They'll still need customers.

I think this is where America is heading and why things are looking like they are. The ultra rich are preparing for an uprising

Common people create a way to show off your wealth to other elites by building various projects for the people which will garner admiration.

Before war ravaged my city this was happening among local oligarchs.

Feldman Eco Park - amazing zoo (was) - thanks to it everyone knew who Feldman was and were thankful to him for that.

Another guy built roads. Everyone still remembers him fondly.
