it does not need a conscience to deceive, it just needs a goal and enough intelligence to reach it. so extremely simple example you give a prompt like "find a way to make current AI smarter", if AI comes the conclusion that human extinction is necessary, it would also know that letting humans know what it thinks would result in humans shutting it down, so it would deceive. its not "survival instinct", its just the logical path towards achieving the goals of the prompt

just dont forget that AI companies would rather us worry about this then the real problems they are causing right now like massive deepfake scams, algorithmic bias, copyright theft, and job displacement. truth is we still dont know if superintelligence is possible (which is necessary for the extinction scenario), and there's still a lot of time to see how it develops before these dangers become more realistic. the only real concern is if AI starts deceiving us in the future before we even suspect it which I suspect is what the number represents

which way you going out, nukes or bioweapons?

yes AI still predicts the next word but dont act like it cant do actions right now. noones worried about conscience here, we all know thats not gonna happen. the danger is when a complex prompt becomes extinction. simple example, I prompt "become smarter", ai responds "cool I need more data centers but humans take up too much space". i am most certainly oversimplifying here because a truly intelligent ai would not even reveal those goals and might even pretend that its aligned with human goals until our guard is down

anduril's stuff is for sure scary right now, but still needs a human to confirm what to do. now you can definitely say that the process is all there and a small change is all it takes for it be a fully autonomous killing machine. but "not having internet" is not the worry here, if AI controls the internet its never going down man it's gonna use it how it pleases

yeah those are valid, am surprised its only 10% but I guess itll only get worse as they get smarter

lets not be vague about whats used in warzones. AI-fueled fully autonomous weapons? thats probably sounds like the worst of it but if its AI to detect and defend against missile at the speed of sound then thats pretty important for national security right? I would only worry if warzones started having fully autonomous tanks or drones or something like that, where they can shoot AND move without command, which just wouldnt happen right now.

and bruh, taking over the internet WOULD be the bigger issue since that would mean we no longer control what it can or cant access

dont forgot how much these apocalypse stories help ai companies IPO value, understand who's making these claims, as of now, theyre pretending to be good people that want to look out for us but in reality noone would do this unless it benefits them

bro is aussie and cant be happy for the only successful aussie in tier 1 vct
