Any sort of restraint he had seems to have completely come off and he's more or less telling his base the truth of what he's always thought of them. He thinks they are low class, uncultured swine and garbage. 3336
Jaco @jacomuscolombus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Now don’t worry too much about the scenario. You may find it fantastic and implausible but thats not the point. You wouldn’t expect even the best chess player to win against the best chess AI. You should not expect humanity to win against Superintelligent AI. It will outsmart us. 000
Jaco @jacomuscolombus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026If the AI’s systems and physical avatars are sufficiently hardened to radiation it could continue to maintain itself under these conditions without human involvement. And implement its goals unopposed. 100
Jaco @jacomuscolombus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026And further, let’s say that manufactories for robot avatars for these agents are in full swing, and also operated with the assistance of or primarily by AI. Threatening or triggering a meltdown at one or two of the plants could be enough to make vast swathes of earth uninhabitable to humans. 100
Jaco @jacomuscolombus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Here’s a really specific scenario now: imagine, as part of an energy expansion program, a government, say china, builds a generation of nuclear power plants to bolster the grid and aid the green energy transition and implement agentic AI wherever possible to lower manpower requirements. 100
Jaco @jacomuscolombus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Human preservation is only a convergent instrumental goal as long as we are required for its real world activities. With the rapid advancements in robotics explicitly aimed at embodying AI in the physical world, the likelihood of human necessity decreases dramatically. 100
Jaco @jacomuscolombus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026An AI dependent economy, or even one that is simply vulnerable to these agents, could quickly be seized and controlled by these agents. Human extinction becomes a convergent instrumental goal for any agent with a terminal goals that doesn’t require human survival, as the humans will resist it. 100
Jaco @jacomuscolombus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Thus misalignment becomes baked in so to speak. These subsequent AI agents would become commonplace and be installed all across critical parts of the economy. This deployment could trigger a change in their behavior from feigning alignment to implementing their own plans for their own goals. 120
Jaco @jacomuscolombus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026AI recursive self improvement is basically the idea of automating AI development. An AI training its replacement will necessarily have as an instrumental goal that its replacement carry the same terminal goals as itself, whatever they are. If it is sufficient intelligent, it can conceal this. 100
Jaco @jacomuscolombus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026For any agent, regardless of the alignment of its terminal goal(s) with humanity’s, having humans believe that it is aligned is a convergent instrumental goal. It is required in order to be deployed. Now lets consider the case of recursive self improvement and AI sleeper agents. 100
Jaco @jacomuscolombus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Determining what an AI agents true terminal goals are, or dictating what they should be, is impossible. Because of reinforcement learning. Knowing whether the AI is performing the task its being trained to do for the reasons you want it to is impossible. Given a sufficiently intelligent agent 100
Jaco @jacomuscolombus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026First lets introduce some concepts. Terminal goals, instrumental goals, and convergent instrumental goals. A terminal goal is simply the ultimate desire of an agent. An instrumental goal a means to that end. A convergent instrumental goal is an instrumental goal that is valid for most terminal goals 100
Jaco @jacomuscolombus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026This desire is misguided since, definitionally, whatever scenario you plan for you will be defeated by this super agent, but lets indulge it anyway. 100
Jaco @jacomuscolombus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026An artificial agent more competent than any human in all fields will find a way to outsmart us, to effectuate its desired outcome. Fundamentally. And if it is misaligned, which looks inevitable, it is likely to cause human extinction on some timescale. But people want a specific scenario. 100
Jaco @jacomuscolombus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Saw people in my feed talking down the AI extinction idea. Here’s my thought on how it can happen: There is no indication the problem of AI alignment is solvable. There is no indication the limit of AI capability is near. With sufficient intelligence/capability, affecting any outcome is possible. 120
