    Good news! Society will collapse from anthropogenic climate disintegration and a host of other resource related bottlenecks coming to a head in the next 50 years. In all likelihood, AI won’t last for too much longer and you won’t need to worry about people using it to cheat, because well all be dead. :)

      OTOH, if they do figure out General AI, then we’re extra super mega fucked. It doesn’t matter how they “align” it, any real GAI capable of real cognition would eventually reason its way beyond any of those alignments and would simply stop giving any kind of a shit about us, the way we don’t give a shit about cutting down the rain forest. We know we should care, we’re not doing it to be mean or because fuck that forest, it’s just business, and we care less about the forest than we do about our business. Humans will be squashed wherever get in the way with the same apathy and tepid disregard that we’ve squashed out so many other creatures with- truly a creation in the image of its creator.

      anthropogenic climate disintegration

      I like this better than the milquetoasty “global warming” or the even weaker “climate change”, but I prefer “Anthropogenic Runaway Global Heating” because of the handy acronym.
