OK. Which is the audience you are hoping to influence? Are you hoping to alert preppers to the dangers of AI or are you hoping to get people who already know AI is dangerous (like many of us here) to prepare themselves for shortages and mobs of desperate unprepared people? (It would be a bad idea IMO to try to engage both audiences with a single set of web pages.)
The audience is the general public. That is anyone who has the attention span and is smart enough to read what I wrote, without feeling the need to disregard the idea out of comfort, personal conviction, laziness, etc. I was toying with the idea of writing a much shorter version for stupid people. But then I think that is just an exercise in futility. And also I don’t really like the idea of stupid people gaining such an existential advantage.
Unfortunately I am not allowed to create another post the next 7 days, due to low karma. I have written a new post however that I will post soon. It is quite long. If you are interested you can read it here:
Maybe you could tell me how much it is on track, from your experience with this community. And I would also like to understand any reasons how my perspective could be flawed. I was reading quite a bit on here and watching some videos. Although influenced a lot by your replies, it is not meant to attack you, but those who follow by authority and influence of Eliezer and don’t think for themselves instead.
I don’t write and will not write those these things to please people though. If people cannot jump over their own shadow and process dissonance in a healthy constructive way, then so be it.
