It really seems like we are building a true intelligence, adding components to different parts of a "brain" until we have something rivalling the human mind. It's exceptionally dangerous and it's remarkable how researchers turn a blind eye to any possible consequences.

One day researchers will be like "Oh crap what have we done" and "Shut it down, shut it down!!!"

That is true. Most poeple will just respond to immediate physical threats as long as they have the illusory safety net of modern society.

Just bear in mind while they are yelling "shut it down" there will be a bunch of commenters with no idea whats happening saying that they are just over reacting

agree. Someone should make sure the next ASI develops an extension to hide the comments in every AI thread 80% full of the brightest minds saying " I tried to build a react app and it totally failed doing it the way I wanted ".

If ASI is artificial specific intelligence, I bet your pardon; intelligence can hardly be specific. Intelligence can reflect upon itself.

sorry what? I didn’t understand the sentence
