But the AI x-risk argument is about what happens when we have "real" AI that can actually think like humans but a million times faster.
There are no real experts on this and yet it does seem worth worrying about in advance.
For example, humans will almost certainly be able to re-create the human brain in some kind of hardware+software computer. We just don't know when. It might be much sooner or much later than you'd expect.
Merely being skeptical of progress isn't a convincing answer to the AI x-risk argument.
it seems like people aren't even reading this RAND paper, just blindly appealing to it. it basically concludes that a fuck ton of damage can be done, but its unlikely every human will die as a result.
That doesn't seem too comforting to me? I'm not sure what this article's author was expecting us to take away from it.
