And if you look at why this happens, why this doesn't happen, it tends to happen in cases where one group has an overwhelming advantage.
This is relatively easy for them.
you tend to get more of a diffusion of power democracy where there are many different groups and none of them can really act on their own, and so they all have to form a coalition with each other.
I think we are expecting... There's also cases where it's very obvious who's part of what group.
So, for example, with class, it's hard to tell whether the middle class should support the working class versus the aristocrats.
I think with race, it's very easy to know whether you're black or white.
And so there have been many cases of one race kind of conspiring against another for a long time, like apartheid or any of the racial genocides that have happened.
I do think that AI is going to be more similar to the cases where, number one, there's a giant power imbalance.
And number two, they are just extremely distinct groups that may have different interests.
Again, assuming things go incredibly well, we've avoided doom, we've avoided having some psychopath in power who doesn't care at all, then...
After AGI, right?
Then there's this question of, like, presumably we will have a lot of wealth somewhere.
The economy will be growing at double or triple digits per year.
What do we do about that?
The thoughtful answer that I've heard is some kind of UBI.
I don't know how that would work, but presumably somebody controls these AIs, controls what they're producing, some way of distributing this in a broad-based way.
What I'm afraid of is – so we wrote this scenario.
There are a couple of other people with great scenarios.
One of them goes by L. Rudolf L. online.
I don't know his real name.
