Elon says the quiet part out loud: instead of focusing on controllable AI tools, AI companies are racing toward a future where machines are in charge. If you oppose this, please join about 100,000 of us as a signatory at superintelligence-statement.…
MUSK: “Long term, A.I. is going to be in charge, to be totally frank, not humans.” “So we just need to make sure the A.I. is friendly.” 👀

If researchers and governments in other countries (namely, China) won't sign on to a moratorium on ASI development, then this simply defaults into a petition to cede victory to them. It's very difficult to escape arms race conditions, when the prize on offer is the most powerful technology of all time and quite literally the solution to every problem humanity has ever faced. It's hard to see any rational approach other than Elon's, unfortunately.

Out of self-interest, the Chinese government won't let Chinese companies build uncontrollable AI that could overthrow them.

It’s like slowing down the race to nukes back in the day

No one knows how to build ASI. And it's doubtful in the next 5 or 10 years the chips or resources or electricity exists to build it using any known methods. AGI is closer, and could happen in the next 5 years with current hardware.

@adam_dorr, it gives an advantage to countries such as China that are good at this kind of technocratic monitoring (for the good of the collective) even if they agree in spirit. They're totally plowing ahead with AI and robotics in military (and nuclear power generation, 🤖🚀)

What do they win? So sick of mfers using some race against China just justify bullshit.
Replying to @adam_dorr @tegmark
Victory in what? Killing us all first?
Replying to @adam_dorr @tegmark
This is all theory. No one wants to be China. Let China be China.
