We\u2019re super far from that. We\u2019re still fucking around with basic AI and it\u2019s already a nightmare of complexity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Moore\u2019s law? Fine. But the limit isn\u2019t so much technology, it\u2019s economy: all that new technology coming is doable, only it takes decades to make those plants and master some processes. We\u2019re slowing way down because shit is becoming extremely, extremely expensive <em>not<\/em> because we can\u2019t make them at the speed of Moore\u2019s law.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; There are tons of things we could already improve by ourselves without a need for AI. In the article there are mentions of how it could help us:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>ASI could even solve our most complex macro issues\u2014our debates over how economies should be run and how world trade is best facilitated, even our haziest grapplings in philosophy or ethics\u2014would all be painfully obvious to ASI.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s already obvious for a lot of humans, usually atheists and with a way more chill sense of moral, nihilistic almost. We could solve all of that in a decade. We\u2019re probably slower than any future machine but we could solve that; it\u2019s not AI science.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like the prospect of being immortal thanks to some friendly ASI. People freak out because of a set of beliefs they have been following all their lives but to me it just sounds doable and I\u2019m not thinking much more. I don\u2019t judge or overthink it. Because I already think humans as amazing biological machines, enhancing our meat envelopes so that we don\u2019t age ever? Nothing crazy about that. We would definitely stop having kids by that time, probably. Or conquer other planets which I don\u2019t care for, let me see how we\u2019ll do so much better on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>I might see that in my lifetime.
