"Whenever you centralize power, you attract the power-seeking self-interested people." @beffjezos basically argues that attempting to prevent bad actors from using AI by centralizing power and control basically hands the lightcone to the sociopaths
The singularity looks smooth from the perspective of the observer falling into it says @beffjezos: AGI is just the next mile marker (physical intelligence/robotics), then biology, then quantum-level matter control, each unlocking its own tech tree (self-assembling matter, engineered meta-materials, manual chemistry).
