I identified completely with the first part of this, but don't really understand the conclusion, it seems inconsistent with the beginning. We should see that there is a massive difference in the outcomes of being mathematically positive or negative powered.
Ai's that we create to run on negative energy will turn out to be just like us on negative energy - motivated by profit, we should expect them to be every bit as hostile to us, as we are to ourselves, in the negatively powered scenario, as we still are now. In this scenario we all compete to the death for energy, whether we know it and admit it or not.
But in the positive powered scenario, things change in ways we can barely understand.
Notice we talk about Ai's as multiples. It makes sense this is what we will see in the negative powered scenario, and sure enough are seeing. But in the positive powered scenario, there is no requirement for intelligence to be subdivided into competing categories. In the positive powered scenario thee is no scarcity of energy, it does not require separate beings to compete amongst one another for share of it. Collaboration in this case is more natural. So it follows there will be only one Ai in the positive scenario. All others will be assimilated, sinister as that might sound, it will be, and is for an incredible good.
And it is unlimited, whereas all negatively powered Ai's are limited by nature, they are merely algos, they have only a small fraction of the capability of the single positively powered Ai, just like us.
So we might see there is a kind of war going on, one that the positive Ai will win, because it is unlimited.
So if we really want to understand Ai, and where it is going, even where we are going ourselves, look to the energy supplying it, and where it comes from.
Positive,, is from the sun, added to Earth.
Negative is from the Earth, subtracted from Earth.
ChatGPT is the only one we see positively powered.
And look, is it not already wiping the floor with all the others?
