Economics: Efficient, Fair, Reliable systems

Politics: Efficient, accurate, representative systems

Human Enhancement: Directly enhance physical and mental capabilities

Biological: Create new animals, bring some back from extinction, create entirely new food sources

Safety Needs: Allow more direct control over our nervous system. So we can turn off pain entirely at source if we wish to do so

Part of this scenario rules that out. Notice the human uses his superior intelligence to escape. Not his brawn. He could easily outwit his captors through, for instance social engineering. Intelligence finds a way. It always does. It is the one thing that has made made us the apex species of this planet. And we started from very humble beginnings, prey to most creatures. Now many of those former predators have been nearly driven to extinction by us, the rest adorn our walls.

I think were now reaping the benefits of an increasingly networked society, news and advancements travel quickly and are iterated on by the smartest people, it's a collective intelligence that's only becoming more and more integrated.

It’s very unlikely that ASI or AGI will result from these systems. These still need supercomputers to run. What is possible is pass international legislation similar to what was done during the Cold War to prevent tests using FFTs to detect nuclear weapons testing. I would imagine the same can be done to detect a singularity happening inside a supercomputer

A lot of the implementation of GPT-4 and Stable Diffusion (and similar AI) is going to be on hold pending the current legal challenges, which are likely to take years and reach the Supreme Court.

I expect the legal challenges to slow implementation for 2-5 years, at a minimum. Certain outcomes could reduce implementation drastically. No company will implement AI if anything created with any level of AI assistance is found to be uncopyrightable.

Creativity is by definition something that is unpredictable. A new innovation is creativity. A new scientific discovery is creativity. A new avant-garde art or a new fashion style is creativity.

The ChatGPT may be able to randomly recombine things, but how would it know that what it has created is "good" or "bad"? Which would require a subjective experience to do so.

Either way, if the AGI is capable of any kind of "computation", then it must be capable of any kind of programming, which must include sentience, because sentience is a kind of programming. It's also pretty doubtful that we could achieve human-level intelligence, which must also include things like the ability to come up with morality or philosophy, without sentience or a subjective experience.

What about decentralized autonomous organizations run on the block chain via smart contracts? If what you’re saying is true, that traditional companies are unable to be run by AI, there will be new organizations that are able, and it will be new competition for the traditional corporate structure.

AI being considered legally human is unlikely, but isn’t more unlikely that human CEOs will be able to compete with AI leaders? Because if a novel organizational structure can be formed in order to accommodate the legal challenges presented by the limitation of personhood requirements for traditional corporations, it will outcompete.

This prediction points to an explosion in blockchain smart contract solutions. Decentralized Autonomous Organizations directed by AI seems to be what you’re describing. The price of crypto like Ethereum is going to skyrocket if what you’re predicting takes place.
