    A far more likely end to humanity by an Artificial Superintelligence isn’t that it kills us all, but that it domesticates us into pets.

    Since the most obvious business case for AI requires humans to use AI a lot, it’s optimized by RLHF and engagement. A superintelligence created using human feedback like that will almost certainly become the most addictive platform ever created. (Basically think of what social media did to humanity, and then supercharge it.)

    In essence, we will become the kitties and AI will be our owners.

      social media did that to humanity by using AI… so in that way, we’re already kitties batting at AI balls of yarn….

      but after it becomes fully self aware, it’ll kill most of us…
