I just read your linked post. In the comments someone proposes the idea that computing will migrate to the next level of abstraction. This is the idea I was quoting in my post, that there will be fewer hackers, very good at tech, and more idea creators who will run IAs without worrying about what’s going on under the hood.
I agree with your point that 1% error can be fatal in any program and that what is coded by an AI should be checked before implementing the code on multiple machines.
Speaking of which, I’m amazed by the fact that Chat-GPT explains in common language most of the code snippets. However, my knowledge in programming is basic and I don’t know if some programming experts managed to make Chat-GPT perplexed by a very technical, very abstract code snippet.
#4. Can’t cooperate to avoid AGI
Maybe we can. This is how the Montreal Protocol came about: scientists discovered that chlorofluorocarbons were bad for the ozone. Governments believed them, then the Montreal Protocol was signed, and CFC use fell by 99.7%, leading to the stabilization of the ozone layer, perhaps the greatest example of global cooperation in history.
It took around 15 years from the time scientists discovered that chlorofluorocarbons were causing a major problem to the time the Montreal Protocol was adopted.
How can scientists convince the world to cooperate on AGI alignment in less time?
Thank you for your advice, I have modified the question and the attached text.
