10 years ago I argued that approval-based AI might lead to the creation of a memetic supervirus. Relevant quote:
Optimizing human approval is prone to marketing worlds. It seems less dangerous than physicalist AI in the sense that it doesn’t create incentives to take over the world, but it might produce some kind of a hyper-efficient memetic virus.
I don’t think that what we see here is literally that, but the scenario does seem a tad less far-fetched now.
