“It’s better to be eaten by something … if you can arrange that it enjoy it”
Given my current state of knowledge, I’d advise against trying to do this because it might introduce s-risks. If you don’t know how to do alignment, then I’d guess it’s best to steer clear of conscious states if possible.
(Separately, I disagree because I don’t think our success odds are anywhere near low enough that we should give up on alignment!)
Point taken. Although, to be honest, I don’t think I can tell what would or would not be conscious anyway, and I haven’t heard anything to convince me that anybody else can either.
… and probably I shouldn’t have answered the headline question while ignoring the text’s points about delay and prevention...
