That’s like saying a sports game doesn’t need a referee because players should follow the rules. At times you perhaps don’t follow them as close because you’re too caught up. So it’s nice to have a party that oversees it.
Which is also the probable fate of an AGI super intelligence being regulated by humans.
People often get wrapped up around an AGI's incentive structure and what intentions it will have, but IMO we have just as much chance of controlling it as wild rabbits have controlling humans.
It will be a massive leap in intelligence, likely with concepts and ways of understanding reality that either never considered or aren't capable of. Again, that's *if* we make an AGI not these LLM machine learning algorithms being paraded around as AI.
It hasn't worked for the airline industry, pharmaceutical companies, banks, or big tech to name a few. I don't think its wise for us to keep trying the same strategy.
If it's the latter, then getting rid of them does not seem like a loss.
In my years of curling, I’ve never seen a disagreement on rules left unsettled between the vices, but my understanding is that one would refer to vices on the neighboring sheets for their opinion, acting as a stand-in impartial authority. In Olympic level play I do believe there are referees to avoid this, but I really can’t overstate how unusual that is for any other curlers.
