On the other hand, the world already contains over 8 billion human intelligences. So I think you are assuming that a few million AGIs, possibly running at several times human speed (and able to work 24⁄7, exchange information electronically, etc.), will be able to significantly “outcompete” (in some fashion) 8 billion humans? This seems worth further exploration / justification.
Good point, but a couple of thoughts:
the operational definition of AGI referred in the article is significantly stronger than the average human
the humans are poorly organized
the 8 billion humans are supporting a civilization, while the AGIs can focus on AI research and self-improvement
Thanks for running this when my one was going to be late, and thanks for checking with me beforehand.
(Also, thanks for the scenario, like, in general: it looks like a fun one!)
