One pivotal act maybe slightly weaker than “develop nanotech and burn all GPUs on the planet”, could be “develop neuralink+ and hook up smart AI-Alignment researchers to enough compute so that they get smart enough to actually solve all these issues and develop truly safely aligned powerful AGI”?
While developing neuralink+ would still be very powerful, maybe it could sidestep a few of the problems on the merit of being physically local instead of having to act on the entire planet?
Of course, this comes with its own set of issues, because we now have superhuman powerful entities that still maybe have human (dark) impulses.
Not sure if that would be better than our reference scenario of doom or not.
I agree, but I personally suspect that neuralink+ is way more research hours & dollars away than unaligned dangerously powerful AGI. Not sure how to switch society over to the safer path.
