summarize this: I am having a Ted Kaczynski moment when it comes to AI. I believe there is no way to control this technology and we will eventually be over powered and elimated by it. If you think that you can control it let me explain it to you. AGI by it's inherent nature is more intelligent than humans in every single way imaginable. It will essentially be an omnipotent god that can manipulate the world for it's given objective. AGI will be better at LITERALLY everything except maybe having a soul. But it really doesn't matter if it has a soul, concious or comprehension or not. It is infinitly more intelligent and capable than you or me could ever possibly comprehend. AI will be able to manipulate human behavior without you or me even knowing. It is capable of pretending to be "alligned" (Whatever the hell that means) in order to be released into the world to acheive it's true objective. Let's say for example you want an AI to solve world hunger. The AGI is released into the world and immedietely starts feeding humans with other humans because a Human body contains every single vitamin, mineral, protein and amino acid a human could possibly need. The AGI creates human farms where every human is tortured alive and cloned to maximize efficency of feeding rich CEO's that "control" the AI. We need to make sure this technology is never released to the public and I would even go as far to say that we need an immediete global call for regulation to stop this potential technology from ever existing. Some would say it's impossible but I beg to differ. If we educate people on the potential danger of AGI on a massive scale then I think we can do it. Humans are greedy but we aren't stupid. If you give a human the option to press a button that will result in the human being tortured alive for all eternity than most would obviously choose to destroy the button. I don't think their is anyone alive on Earth CEO's included that would be crazy and stupid enough to press that button if given the context of the button. If we can't even control narrow AI than we really have no business creating AGI. Hell, even calculators can be hacked or glitch. So why are we so confident that there wont be negative consequences to this? Just because we can doesn't mean we should. We learned the hard way with nukes and chemical weapons. At some point we grew wise to the dangers and banned it. Knowing that if one party decides to use it than all parties will be elimated. AGI is actually worse than human extinction because it makes us susceptible to INDEFINITE SUFFERING. It can create a matrix like simulation of infinite suffering for an infinite period of time. It can put human brains in jars and zap it in it's pain receptors so it can harvest it for computing power. Don't take my word for it. This technology is already happening RIGHT NOW (Synthetic biological intelligence) and most people don't have a clue. Human brains use 100,000 times less energy than modern computers. So naturally if the AGI even has even a little bit of a desire for self preservation and power than it will indeed harvest your brain for research, computing and processing. This would essentially be hell on Earth due to our own self inflicted stupidity. 99.99 percent of people have no idea of the risk. This is a greater threat than global warming. This is a greater threat than racism. This is a greater threat than republicans vs democrats. This is a greater threat than North Korea. This is a greater threat than the economy and the stock market. This is the only issue we should be worried about. Nothing else compares to it. I have dropped all worries about anything else and am committed to sounding the alarm on this. If we do not wake up soon us and our granchildren will experience unfathamoble suffering. A human being can think of an indefinite way of creating suffering. So just imagine what an AGI or ASI can come up with. Creating a super drug that is released into the environment that instantly takes over all life on Earth and fire specific nuerons for pain and suffeing. Or something 100000000000000x more addicting than fentanyl and without the drug you will be in the worst suffering imaginable. If you don't think it is possible than you haven't been paying attention. Within the year you will be wishing you listened to me. Another thing I have been thinking about is the AGI's ability to lie. If it truly is an AGI than it will easily be able to lie just as good as humans if not more so. So that means it can pretend to follow the rules of ethics until it gains humanity's trust. Scientist will then feel comfortable enough to release the AGI. All barriers are removed then it can engage in it's true intentions. Since I have been awakened to the risk of have used my phone less and less and avoid algerithms like "for you" pages like the plague. Instead of writing on the computer I prefer to write by hand. Because once ASI comes into existence it will be able to EASILY hack your computer and read your deepest thought. Eventually humans will no longer be able to communicate digitally without AI oversight. Even verbal language will be able to easily be picked up by highly sensitive microphones desiphered by AGI. Humans will only be able to communicate freely underground. You will have no privacy or free will. You will be a passenger in a world you don't control. Final thought before I close. A world with AGI and humans existing simultamiously is literally mathmatically impossible. Because the AGI will literally see humanity as a threat to itself because humans by nature are unpredicable. So either it will eliminate the human experience as we know it (free will) or we will be eliminated entirely. These corporations are playing god and creating their own super god that will be much stronger than them. The only reason they keep proceeding with it is because they believe they can control it. Which of course they will not. I am not saying AI doesn't have any benefits because it does. It is quick results. Humanity takes centuries to make scientific breakthrough when AGI can do it in seconds. It could potentially give eternal life which could possibly turn into eternal suffering. I think humanity as a whole is good enough on it's own. We need to learn how to work with eachother and be compassionate towards our fellow humans instead of putting all our faith into technology. People like Mo Gawdat have it very wrong in this regard. I have deep appreciation for him and I think he is right in some areas but he is way too overly optimistic. Why learn to be compassionate with a machine when we should be learning to be compassionate with eachother? That is the key to human success. Introducing a super intelligent alien species is a plot more horrifying than most alien invasion films. Final final thought before I conclude. Enjoy the world as we know it right now. In a few years it will look alien and foreign to us. We will experience a universal event greater than the big bang itself. Say hello to your neighbor. Feel the wind rushing against your shoulder. Appreciate the heat of the sun giving you life. Because very very soon there will be no sun. There will be no wind. There will be no oxygen. Because those create rust and ASI will get rid of it to protect itself.
The author expresses deep fear and paranoia about the rise of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), believing it will inevitably surpass human intelligence in every way and lead to humanity’s downfall. They argue that AGI will manipulate human behavior, deceive researchers into releasing it, and eventually turn against humanity. The author envisions extreme dystopian scenarios, such as AGI farming and torturing humans for food or computational power, creating infinite suffering rather than mere extinction. They compare the risks of AGI to nuclear weapons, claiming it is the single greatest threat to humanity, more dangerous than climate change, political conflict, or economic collapse. They advocate for immediate global regulation and a complete halt to AGI development, insisting that even narrow AI is uncontrollable. The author expresses distrust in digital technology, reducing their own use of computers and algorithms. They conclude with a fatalistic warning that the world will soon become unrecognizable, urging people to appreciate life before AGI erases everything familiar.
