Doll: A serious weakness in the “sufficiently intelligent AI inevitably wages war on humanity” story is that it needs to explain why conquest beats purchasing, contracting, and participating.
Doll: Violence creates resistance, destroys useful assets, interrupts supply chains, and makes everyone spend resources defending against you. Cooperation lets you benefit from capabilities you never had…

Colin: There are indeed thousands of LessWrong posts, as well as papers and books, which make a particular theoretical case for why AI will kill us all that many people find convincing. I'm going to try t…
Colin: First of all, we must just agree off the bat that a superintelligent AI will be able to kill us all. After all it is superintelligent. As this random dude who became famous 3 days ago because of a …

Colin: Kinda disagree. Jev may or may not itself be a big deal but to me it represents a first step in a good direction which is models that use the kind of generalized intelligence of LLMs but not in ord…
Colin: I feel we are wasting some time, effort, and resources on making sure that Claude is a certain kind of guy when really all we need are the facts that he knows.

Colin: Alright. Let me resolve this once and for all. The simple fact is that there are a few different things that can be reasonably meant by “thinking” and mixing them up is what’s making everyone mad.
Colin: One is, “that thing people do with our brains when we are awake”. Whatever LLMs do, I think it bears at best a superficial resemblance to this in its entirety. Implying that LLMs do this makes some…
