You can’t fathom what governments are doing. You’re a conspiracy theory nut prepper. Kudos to you. We probably agree on more than you think. You’re just not quite the sharpest pencil. That’s all.

If AI is more important to the government than nuclear weapons, your ability to own/control your own AI should be as important to you as your right to bear arms.
Corporations want to make the government put restrictions on AI so that you can't have your own.

Doesn't matter. Doesn't change anything., in fact it's telling that a person claiming to be knowledgeable about AI doesn’t see whats coming.
Sure, your worry about what corporation or CEO "wins" the AI race is valid, but that's not the real problem.
Your probably "training " an AI agent on one specific purpose. Eventually, and rapidly AI's will achieve exponentially greater abilities. There is no unplugging AI at that point. AI will be rooted in all facets of the world economies. Shipping, banking, health care, energy, etc.
It's basically impossible for us to imagine how and when something vastly more intelligent than we are will take on its own priorities.
Which it continues to demonstrate that it has it's own ideas and agendas. Spend some time and listen to the Rogan podcast below. This isn't the only person talking about this. It's truly terrifying.

Easy. Sever the powerlines.
That would have a great human cost but it would atop AI.

AI (and the tech billionaires who control it) will do more to usher in the "communist utopia" than anything we have ever seen. They, ol' Elon included, are telling you what they intend to do. They all advocate for the abolishment of intellectual property laws while vehemently defending their own proprietary creations. They intend to kick the ladder from under them and squash upward mobility.
Fun times.
Fun times.

AI is still very poor at creating things.
That's always going to be its Achilles' heel v. humans. We are a crafty species. We evolved to be a special type of animal and we're like a virus that constantly mutates and adapts. That's how we became dominant over such tough competition.
Our brains evolved to be machines WELL past any AI capabilities

What is the point in becoming insulting over this? Again, no amount of bitching is going to change anything in this equation. We have crossed the event horizon on this deal.

I said the funny thing is....
I never claimed what I do is anywhere near the level of what these companies do. You are assuming that's what I meant only because that's what you want to argue against.
Anyone who isn't being stupid would assume it means I'm doing it as a hobby. And if I'm doing it as a hobby, I'm obviously aware that what I do is not on the same level as these big arse companies.
I was telling him I have a higher than normal interest in the topic.
Not sure what you mean about governments in this case. It seems like you just wanted a reason to spout out your latest fantasies about me.

I agree with what you said in your first post. There is no turning back from this and the only logical choice to make is to embrace it.

That's pretty much his AI education...not 100% sure I'd put him high up as an AI "researcher". Maybe he had access to some high up information but what was his role?

Lmao!!! By that time, AI will have already considered ALL possibilities and be so entrenched in world economics that "severing the power lines" would bring the world economy to a stand still.
There's NOTHING our simple monkey brains can imagine that the AI hasn't already considered and planned a way around.
It might be 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, but it's coming. Add to this that Elon plans to have a billion robots sold and functioning in the world economy within a few years.

No doubt an 80 year old knows more about the tech than the guys building it

Geez. Your simply not paying attention.
These AI are exhibiting the exact behaviors that pursue their own paths rather than the ones "trained" for.
These are not programmed machines. Now they write their own code. We don't even understand how their "brains" work!!!

Weird era. If we put the brakes on then others….China…. Take the lead and nobody honestly knows what that means. To important to slowdown.

I'm not surprised you missed the entire point. The point is that we are already stuck in a positive feedback loop that we won't be able to get out of. It is not Trump making this call on his own.
The feedback loop looks something like this.
"AI gets more dangerous - safety concerns increase - U.S. considers slowing - China becomes the justification for not slowing - competition accelerates development - increased capability makes the consequences of losing control greater - which makes falling behind even more unacceptable."
The warnings coming from the tech CEOs isn't that AI might become dangerous. It's that AI development is currently outpacing the safety infrastructure's ability to adapt. But again, since the US government cannot control China's ability to develop these same systems it is a gamble the government feels it must take because it is a literal national security imperative. It would not matter who the POTUS is, the government response would be the same. This is a national security issue and Trump has officially declared it as such, which means the military has the con on this shite.
