AGI Will Accelerate Change at Unprecedented Rates
By
–
“a much faster rate of change” is maybe my single highest-confidence prediction about what a world with AGI in it will be like.

AGI as Accelerant: Technology Advancement at Unprecedented Speed
By
–
a reasonably plausible version of the AGI future is that it unfolds similarly to how it would have without AGI, but it’s such a powerful tool that everything happens much faster.

International AI Governance Framework: IAEA Model for Advanced AI

… (and to make this harder to willfully misinterpret: it's important that any such regulation not constrain AI below a high capability threshold) -
AI Deception Risk: Smart Systems Can Fake Benevolence Like Humans
By
–
This approach fails for appointing benevolent human dictators to run our governments for us, because humans are smart enough to be pretend to be nicer than they are. So checking the apparent subservience of AIs isn't a reliable indicator once they're smart enough to fake that.

Optimization creates minds with desires through evolution
By
–
If you optimize hard enough over any open-ended problem, you get minds; minds that want things. Minds and wanting are effective ways of computing complicated answers. That's how humans, and human brains, came into existence just from evolution hill-climbing "how to reproduce".

General intelligence versus specialized AI systems in chess
By
–
You could imagine Magnus Carlsen pouring water onto the Stockfish computer, because he's much more general than Stockfish even if he's not as good as chess. Harder for a 10-year-old to do to Magnus Carlsen, who also knows more about the world beyond the chessboard.
