A short overarching narrative of how humans in companies will, by default, bootstrap the existence of AGI that proceed to lethally modify the environment beyond human control.
Excerpts compiled below:
where considering the shaping of proto-AGI/AI systems in interaction with humans:
as mostly about how ‘human to human’ interactions are bootstrapping of ‘human to AI’ interactions, and also about how narrow AI becomes general AI.
where for example, consider an easy narrative of how this might manifest in the overall trends of how the present inexorably leads to the future.
where considering the shaping of now near-threshold-AGI systems in interaction with world:
as mostly about how prior ‘human to AI’ interactions have effectively/functionally implemented a bootstrapping of all kinds of possible ‘AI to world’ interactions, and how these ‘AI to world’ interactions, in turn, set the context and future for all manner of ‘AI to AI’ interactions, etc.
where there are different outcomes/effects:
that there is an overall movement:
a; towards the environmental conditions needed for artificial machine:
substrate continuance; and;
continued increase (of total volume of substrate); and;
increase in the rate of increase (of volume of substrate).
where considering the non-shaping of now post-threshold-AGI in interaction with itself:
where as considered both internally or externally; where given the complete failure of exogenous controls (via market incentives; due to economic decoupling)
that they (the AGI/APS) will have started, and will increasingly (be able to, and will), more and more shape the world environment to suit their own needs/process.
that humanity discovers, unfortunately, far too late, that any type of attempted endogenous control is also strictly, functionally, structurally, completely impossible/intractable.
as due to fundamental limits of/in engineering control (note 4):
cannot simulate.
cannot detect.
cannot correct.
that any attempt to moderate or control AGI/APS whether by internal or external techniques, cannot not eventually fail.
where once the AGI/APS systems exist; that the tendency of people to keep them operating becomes overwhelming.
where stating the overall outcome/conclusion:
If ‘AGI’ comes to exist and continues to exist, then there will be eventually human-species-wide lethal changes {to / in the} overall environment.
How ‘Human-Human’ dynamics give way to ‘Human-AI’ and then ‘AI-AI’ dynamics
