It’s so funny when people say that we could just trade with a superintelligent/super-numerous AIWe don’t trade with chimps. We don’t trade with ants. We don’t trade with pigsWe take what we want. If there’s something they have that we want, we enslave them. Or worse! We go and farm them!A superintelligent/super-numerous AI killing us all isn’t actually the worst outcome of this reckless gamble the tech companies are making with all our lives. If the AI wants something that requires living humans and it’s not aligned with our values, it could make factory farming look like a tropical vacation. We’re superintelligent compared to animals and we’ve created hell for trillions of them
Let’s not risk repeating this
