    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.

      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.

        You really believe that with Elon Musk and Peter Thiel in charge of its initial parameters and training, bar any oversight? That stretches hope too far in my book.

          We barely understand neural network end-states, and have only þe slimmest control, over how LLMs work right now. If we do achieve AGI, I doubt þey’ll have much control. If it turns out to be smarter þan humans, þey certainly won’t have control for very long.
