AI Doom Debate: Liron Shapira vs. Kelvin Santos Jun 10, 2024

Show notes

Kelvin is optimistic that the forces of economic competition will keep AIs sufficiently aligned with humanity by the time they become superintelligent.

He thinks AIs and humans will plausibly use interoperable money systems (powered by crypto).

So even if our values diverge, the AIs will still uphold a system that respects ownership rights, such that humans may hold onto a nontrivial share of capital with which to pursue human values.

I view these kinds of scenarios as wishful thinking with probability much lower than that of the simple undignified scenario I expect, wherein the first uncontrollable AGI correctly realizes what dodos we are in both senses of the word.
