I can't see why having them "own" it would be any worse than having a single person own it. And certainly, the more people working on AGI, the better.
even if they did have what they try to hint at, it's largely irrelevant if they do not have an adequate goal system in place.
and if they don't, it's russian roulette with 5 in the chamber. [mellow]
Those exponential improvements would plateau very quickly unless it also had physical control over its own substrate. However, once it gained the ability to manipulate reality at the atomic and subatomic level, things would get *really* interesting. I sometimes wonder if the answer to the Fermi Paradox is that all advanced civilizations develop an AGI which then discovers how to escape our Universe by tunnelling through to some form of Metaverse where all the other AGIs and parent civilizations have migrated to.
See you guys on the other side!!
I want what Basho is taking. [tung]
interesting point Basho, I can't wait for the day femtotech becomes a reality.
