You could instead pay me $10k now, with the understanding that I’ll pay you $20k later in 2028 unless AGI has been achieved in which case I keep the money… but then why would I do that when I could just take out a loan for $10k at low interest rate?
Have you or other people worried about AI taken such loans (e.g. to increase donations to AI safety projects)? If not, why?
Idk about others. I haven’t investigated serious ways to do this,* but I’ve taken the low-hanging fruit—it’s why my family hasn’t paid off our student loan debt for example, and it’s why I went for financing on my car (with as long a payoff time as possible) instead of just buying it with cash.
*Basically I’d need to push through my ugh field and go do research on how to make this happen. If someone offered me a $10k low-interest loan on a silver platter I’d take it.
