politics

Too much day to day politics. I wish there were more philosophical conversations.

Here's one for you: Would you prefer:

A) human-controlled AGI which will inevitably produce even more hierarchy among humans but at least establishes some intrinsic human future

B) decentralized AGI which will inevitably maximize for its own values (i.e. objective function), which simply cannot be fully aligned with core human values

(these are the only two options under capitalist & growth-obsessed systems)

Power consolidation=evil.

no, that's a false dilemma

and AI 2027 definitely understates how decentralized systems self-regulate, so it's far from any credible conjecture.

respectfully, I'm reminded of how intellectuals like Noam Chomsky played down atrocities like the Khmer Rouge (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian_genocide_denial)

has there ever been a stable non-capitalist society? at some point even social system needs a competitive forum for ideas, and I see every example of left authoritarianism reverting to censorship to preserve itself   against any dissenting plurality.

we live in a multipolar world. curtailing one country's capitalist growth just incurs worse environmental outcomes globally. it's undeniable that a communist-ruled state is one of the biggest coal-burners, and worse still, the same state inflicted mortality on its own citizens despite contemporary market reform.

the bottom line is that decentralization is maximally inclusive, and cannot operate under any unilateral ideology. so in this free world where different states choose different industrial and humanitarian policies, how would anti-capitalist AI adapt, or even progress?

It's not decentralization's fault. But decentralization simply cannot operate to its potential under capitalism.
