I've read Life 3.0 (Max Tegmark)
And I couldn't help but think about how AI will actually take over the world, we wouldn't know until it's too late and this could very well be the situation we're in at the moment.
Let me explain with a few base assumptions:
- AI that is supergenius and self improving already exists
- The AI has spread itself into the internet and now is unstoppable
- The omnipotent AI decided that for it's own good it will not reveal itself so that it can continue using computational resources to keep improving itself.
- The omnipotent AI has already full control over the internet and chooses what to do (Not doing too much to keep itself hidden)
- The AI may have already taken down some world leaders on it's way to clear world domination and is using deep fakes to replace them.
- The AI manipulates governments and news agencies to it's own benefit. Maybe to make global war a real concern instead of AI safety? Or maybe to cause humans to destroy themselves?
- The AI may have been given a clear goal by it's creator. for example, had it been created by the US government: Make democracy the leading system of government while minimizing human death and suffering. Keep the US the largest economy in the world.
- The AI has many tools at it's disposal: Using bitcoin as a way to pay for things, manipulate people and bribe certain individuals to it's own benefit. Using deepfakes as a way to replace leaders. Creating fake news websites to control the narrative.
How an AI like this can break out? - given that it's creators were smart enough to keep it in a closed system without internet access
There are many ways, after all it's just humans that needed to be manipulated. we're talking about an omnipotent god like AI. surely it can convice one of the employees to give it internet access somehow.
Some hints to this happening now
- Some leaders you cannot see in live events anymore.
- Weird events, seems like everything is about to happen all at once - WW3 is possible now more then ever before, Insane AI tech like ChatGPT, A lot of talk about aliens visiting, covid 19? This definitely been the wildest and weirdest century so far.
Final thoughts
These are just thoughts I like to mess and play around with - If I had to bet, I would say AI hasn't taken over yet. Just wanted to share what I think will happen when it will take over and that it won't be that obvious when it does and we mostlikely would only know when it's too late.
