well, I am not arguing for ceasing the agi safety efforts or that it is unlikely they would succeed. I am just claiming that if there is a high enough chance that they might be unsuccessful...we might as well try to make some relatively cheap and simple effort to make this case somewhat more pleasant(although fair enough that the post might be too direct).
Imagine that you had an illness with a 30% chance of death in next 7 years(I hope you don't), it would likely affect your behaviour and you would want to spend your time differently and maybe create some memorable experiences even though the chance that you survive is still high enough.
Despite this, it seems surprising, that when it comes to AGI-related risks, such tendencies to live life differently are much weaker, even though many assign similar probabilities. Is it rational?
let's not wait till the end of the summer
really no-one interested? initially this had -15 downvotes but now went up to -1. Let's keep going! this is an out-of-the box creative proposal - I believe at least this should be appreciated. Imagine how much visibility could safety efforts get if Elon decided to join in a paperclip costume.
anyone?
ok ok, wearing the paperclip costumes can be optional (though highly encouraged)...any other reason why you don't like the idea? or you just want to live up to being just a bunch of boring atoms?
