if aliens exists and UAPs are caused by them, what implication does that have for AI safety?
“AI” refers to the observation that computers, over time, can do more & more things
I really look forward to the next AI winter! We’ll all cozy up inside by the fireside in thick markov blankets, everyone finds a new agent foundations paper in their stocking, and we can listen to uncle Paul have his discussion with uncle Eliezer when the whole family re-unites…

maybe elites appear incompetent because they’re mostly trying to prevent AI disaster behind the curtains? perhaps that’s why GPT-4 hasn’t appeared yet – they coordinated not to do it.
lol, just realised that standard AI risk is just environmental disaster risk amped up to 10^(10^10), only that the direct perpetrator isn’t humanity (we’re only the proximate perpetrator). huh
beating the ender dragon in minecraft with dying <100 times (but arbitrary training on video beforehand) seems like a nice candidate for another fire alarm (I wonder whether people would panic then, or whether that challenge is already AI-complete)
