The AI race is not like the nuclear race because everybody wanted a nuclear bomb for their country, but nobody wants an uncontrollable god-like AI in their country.

The AI race is not like the nuclear race because everybody wanted a nuclear bomb for their country, but nobody wants an uncontrollable god-like AI in their country.

​Xi Jinping doesn’t want a god-like AI because it is a bigger threat to the CCP’s power than anything in history.

Trump doesn’t want a god-like AI because it will be a threat to his personal power.

Biden doesn’t want a god-like AI because it will be a threat to everything he holds dear.

Also, all of these people have people they love. They don’t want god-like AI because it would kill their loved ones too.

No politician wants god-like AI that they can’t control.

Either for personal reasons of wanting power or for ethical reasons, of not wanting to accidentally kill every person they love.

Owning nuclear warheads isn’t dangerous in and of itself. If they aren’t fired, they don’t hurt anybody.

Owning a god-like AI is like . . . well, you wouldn’t own it. You would just create it and very quickly, it will be the one calling the shots.

You will no more be able to control god-like AI than a chicken can control a human.

We might be able to control it in the future, but right now, we haven’t figured out how to do that.

Right now we can’t even get the AIs to stop threatening us if we don’t worship them. What will happen when they’re smarter than us at everything and are able to control robot bodies?

Let’s certainly hope they don’t end up treating us the way we treat chickens.
