Excellent podcast. My favorite from CSPI as of yet. Thanks!

Likewise saying to an enemy in a peace deal 'don't make me regret this' wouldn't necessarily work.

I see this more as a binary path before us. Either we can create an artificial general intelligence that is for all intents humanlike but just smarter. Or we can't. In the ladder case, maybe we can create AIs that aren't meaningfully smarter or more self aware than us, but offer greater amalgamation like a corporation but can "think" faster. In which case we probably don't have much to worry about (existentially, anyway). But if we can create something that sees us like we see ants, then we are by definition doomed at some point.
