Why 'Aligned AI' Could Still Kill Democracy | David Duvenaud, ex-Anthropic team lead

So I guess I'll say you can make a case either way.

80,000 Hours Podcast

And again, empirically, we seem to have this like mix and it's not even really an equilibrium.

80,000 Hours Podcast
Why 'Aligned AI' Could Still Kill Democracy | David Duvenaud, ex-Anthropic team lead

It's this sort of like meta equilibrium of, you know, larger coordination happening and then dying.

80,000 Hours Podcast

I guess I'll say I think it's also probably going to operate very differently at different scales.

80,000 Hours Podcast

So on the scale of like an island versus like a continent versus a planet versus a solar system versus a galaxy, right?

80,000 Hours Podcast

Just due to like weird physics things like the speed of light, it probably will.

80,000 Hours Podcast

I can't imagine there being all that much meaningful coordination between galaxies ever and probably not even between solar systems.

80,000 Hours Podcast
Why 'Aligned AI' Could Still Kill Democracy | David Duvenaud, ex-Anthropic team lead

So it really probably depends on the level.

80,000 Hours Podcast

And I guess I haven't thought much about this.

80,000 Hours Podcast
Why 'Aligned AI' Could Still Kill Democracy | David Duvenaud, ex-Anthropic team lead

Yeah, post-AGI civilizational equilibria, colon, are there any good ones?

80,000 Hours Podcast
Why 'Aligned AI' Could Still Kill Democracy | David Duvenaud, ex-Anthropic team lead

Yeah.

80,000 Hours Podcast
Why 'Aligned AI' Could Still Kill Democracy | David Duvenaud, ex-Anthropic team lead

How did it go?

80,000 Hours Podcast

Are there any good ones?

80,000 Hours Podcast
Why 'Aligned AI' Could Still Kill Democracy | David Duvenaud, ex-Anthropic team lead

I mean, I think it went really well.

80,000 Hours Podcast
Why 'Aligned AI' Could Still Kill Democracy | David Duvenaud, ex-Anthropic team lead

I mean, we were all a bit amateurs.

80,000 Hours Podcast
Why 'Aligned AI' Could Still Kill Democracy | David Duvenaud, ex-Anthropic team lead

Well, actually, Jan has organized lots of workshops, but we had like a lot of my favorite, impressive, fun people to talk to.

80,000 Hours Podcast

In terms of are there good futures or stable equilibrium that we would like, I feel like we had speakers that were able to lay out the main cases.

80,000 Hours Podcast

Like Joe Carl Smith, Richard Noe came and talked about life in living in an extremely unequal world and making the case that most of our sort of like intuitions and moral norms are...

80,000 Hours Podcast
Why 'Aligned AI' Could Still Kill Democracy | David Duvenaud, ex-Anthropic team lead

formed in this sort of very peer-to-peer world that we've lived in as humans, but it's actually going to look more like parent-child relationships or animal-human relationships.

80,000 Hours Podcast
Why 'Aligned AI' Could Still Kill Democracy | David Duvenaud, ex-Anthropic team lead

And we have to adapt our sort of moral and social intuitions more for this kind of world.
