New NetLogo experiment: donors vote on our roadmap. Donate any amount by April 30 → vote in May → we prioritize based on what the community picks. Here's how it works 🧵

A key point of the book: even if you disagree with (1), it's irresponsible to race ahead with AI unless you can confidently show that AI *won't* have alien values. If it *might* have human-aligned values, that doesn't justify racing ahead.

I think the only one of these that can plausibly be argued with is (1), and that is where most of the reasoned debate is happening.

My understanding of "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies": 1. AI built on current techniques will have alien values 2. A superintelligence will be able to steer the world to realize its values 3. By default, alien values being maximized → humanity dies 4. Therefore, IABIED (book's title)

Very cool model! I'm implementing a #NetLogo version, and I have a question: is there a real distinction between h_in vs h_out and γ_in vs γ_out, or could there just be 4 arbitrary traits? Since any link can be harmful or helpful based on harm/help ratio, the traits seem arbitrary.
