Hold out for the super-duper-duper intelligence.
What a great con. Wish I'd thought of it.
He's a true believer, and was some of the actual brains at OpenAI and not a marketing hack.
It's not a con, but whether it's viable is another question.
That’s a ripoff. I will offer to refrain from releasing less-than-superhuman AI for a mere $999M
I will not release the big dumb-dumb for only $2 and a small piece of fish
My bet is that we're at least one breakthrough away from actual artificial intelligence. Not helping is of course the fact that we don't know what intelligence actually is.
Also, according to Eliezer Yudkowsky, the way we'll notice a superintelligence moving against us is that all humans will die at once. Of course, while AI with human level intellect is probably possible, on account of humans having human level intellect, superintelligence being possible is still a stretch.
