Reminds me of FutureMe [0] which I've used in the past to set goals for myself for the year only to receive the email and realize I had failed miserably. Eventually stopped using it. It wasn't a reliable way to keep me on track.
"let’s actually look at who’s running the levers of these systems. That means shifting away from just focusing on things like ethical principles to talking about power."
"We’re looking at a profound concentration of power into extraordinarily few hands"
I think you are using the wrong definition of power to frame this article
The author is using the term AGI to refer to human intelligence to make their point that "we have to stop romanticizing or fear-mongering about the pointless concept of a human-like intelligence being produced by software."
The author, confusingly, is using the term AGI to refer to human intelligence.
Main points from the article:
"Artificial general intelligence is something we have plenty of here on Earth, most of it goes to waste, so I'm not sure designing AGI based on a human model would help us much."
"Superhuman artificial general intelligence is not something that we can define, since nobody has come up with a comprehensive definition of intelligence that is self-sufficient, rather than requiring real world trial and error."
"Superhuman artificial general intelligence is not something we can test, since we can't gather statistically valid training datasets for complex problem and we can't afford to test via trial and error in the real world."
"Even if superhuman artificial intelligence was somehow created, there's no way of knowing that they'd be of much use to us. It may be that intelligence is not the biggest bottleneck to our current problems, but rather time and resources."
