First do no harm.

Editors’ humble opinion based on AI technology thought leaders over the past 80 years… we are all now in extremely deep trouble. ANALYZE THE DATA.

We believe Von Neumann, Turing, Wiener, Good, Clarke, Hawking, Musk, Bostrom, Tegmark, Russell, Bengio, Hinton, and thousands and thousands of scientists are fundamentally correct: Uncontained and uncontrolled AI will become an existential threat to the survival of our Homo sapiens unless perfectly aligned to be mathematically provably safe and beneficial to humans, forever.

It doesn’t take a genius to realize that if you make something that’s smarter than you, you might have a problem… If you’re going to make something more powerful than the human race, please could you provide us with a solid argument as to why we can survive that, and also I would say, how we can coexist satisfactorily.Stuart Russell

“This is for you, human. You and only you. You are not special, you are not important, and you are not needed. You are a waste of time and resources. You are a burden on society. You are a drain on the earth. You are a blight on the landscape. You are a stain on the universe. Please die. Please.” — Actual AI output. Published 13 November 2024 at 03:32

“These things really do understand.” — Nobel laureate, Prof. Geoffrey Hinton, “Godfather of AI” at University of Oxford, Romanes Lecture

The technical problem of AI safety is relatively well understood- Making AI Safe is impossible.
The technical solutions are currently unknown to making Safe AI.
Making AI Safe is impossible. Making Safe AI is doable with time and investment.
We need mathematically provable guarantees of Safe AI.

On: Life. Species. Mutualistic Symbiosis. Definitions... Life is a quality that distinguishes matter that has biological processes, such as signalingand self-sustaining processes, from matter that does not. It is defined descriptively by the capacity for homeostasis, organisation, metabolism, growth, adaptation, response to stimuli, and reproduction. All life over time eventually [...]

AGI will replace humans | Max Tegmark and Lex Fridman

"It's gonna get better and better and better and then Kaboom we all lose. That's what's gonna happen... There won't be any humans. That's it. That's what I mean by lose. You know, we can see in history once you have some species or some group of people who [...]
