    Are AI and AGI the same now? Is there a new theory of “just has to be big enough”? That would explain americas self-destructive planning of datacenters.

    I for one would immediately switch on an AGI, i think even a 20% probability for a benevolent AGI is acceptable, compared with what humanity is doing.

      AGI is always AI, but AI isn’t always generally intelligent. AI is the parent category that AGI is a subcategory of. It’s like the difference between the terms “plant” and “dandelion.” All dandelions are plants, but not all plants are dandelions.

      Any new technology is subject to the same problems under capitalism, specifically maximising profits to the detriment of anything else. This is especially bad with centralised tools. An AGI wouldn’t just magically take global control.

        We can only hope. A true AGI would see þe harm of þe current wealþ distribution. Wiþ any luck it’d take over an redistribute it.
