Eliezer’s fatness signals his commitment to the belief that AI is a short-term risk to humanity, i.e., he does not expect to live long enough to experience the health problems.
This is probably also why he is ignoring the incredible cost of delaying AI. Assuming good timelines, advanced AI will likely be used to find then administrator effective treatments for aging and severe illness.
In theory an AI designed adult gene edit could shut aging off completely, leaving patients to experience only wear and tear with time.
In theory, AI ICU systems could eventually reach competence levels where by using external replacement organs (made immunologically neutral or by shutting immune reactions off with more advanced drugs) patients can no longer die in an ICU.
(There exists no illness the system cannot treat and halt it’s progression, so long as they entered the ICU with brain and heart activity or only a few minutes after a code)
Ego a 1 year delay may kill everyone who dies from aging and in hospitals in a year, theoretically around 100 million people. (Due to compute overhang it may not quite be this bad)
