Eliezer, I’m aware of nanotech. And I know you think the human race is obsolete when AI comes along. And I also think that you might be right, and that people like you might have the power to make it so.
But I also believe that if the rest of the human race really thought that was a possibility, you’d be burned at the stake.
Do you have any regard for the opinions of humanity at all? If you were in the position of having an AI in front of you, that you had convinced yourself was friendly, would you let it out of the box without bothering to consult anyone else?
The term “obsolete” as used here confuses me. It seems to imply a purpose, one that individuals—or humanity—or whatever other “intelligence collective” there may be—could get behind. What might that purpose be? Not survival, is it?
