There are a lot of groups pursuing AGI. Some claiming that they are doing so with the goal of benefiting humanity, some simply in pursuit of profit and power. Indeed, the actors I personally am most concerned about are those who are relatively selfish and immoral as well as self-confident and incautious, and sufficiently competent to at least utilize and modify code published by researchers. Those who think they can dodge or externalize-to-society the negative consequences and reap the benefits, who don’t take the existential risk stuff seriously. You know what I mean. The L33T |-|ACKZ0R demographic.
