I think this post is confusing. I think you’re making some assumptions about how AGI will happen and about human psychology that aren’t explicit. And there’s some rather alarming rhetoric about the death penalty and crushing narcissists businesses that are pretty scary, because similar rhetoric has been used many times to justify things like China’s cultural revolution and many other revolutions that were based on high ideals but got subverted (mostly by what you call narcissists, which I think are a bit more like the common definition of sociopaths)
Anyway I think this is basically sensible but would need to be spelled out more carefully to get people engaged with the ideas.
Nice, thanks for the feedback! Absolutely, for me it was more of a stream of consciousness, just to get it out of my system, so I’ll work on refining it soon! It’s really fascinating which overlaps AI alignment has with mental illnesses in humans :)
