This is exactly the sort of very boring and tedious task that is perfect to outsource to an AI.
And this is a way in which less powerful and less intelligent agents like us can actually continue to control and trust more powerful ones.
Well, for starters...
Begin with a simple problem of just making sure that the system that you own or that's supposed to be loyal to you has to prove to itself that it's always going to do the things that you actually want it to do.
And if it can't prove it, maybe it's still going to do it, but you won't run it.
So you just forfeit some aspects of all the cool things AI can do.
I bet your dollars and donuts it can still do some incredibly cool stuff for you.
Yeah.
There are other things too that we shouldn't sweep under the rug.
Like not every human agrees on exactly what direction we should go with humanity, right?
Yes.
And you've talked a lot about geopolitical things on your podcast to this effect.
But I think that shouldn't distract us from the fact that there are actually a lot of things that everybody in the world virtually agrees on.
That, hey, you know, like having no humans on the planet
in a near future, let's not do that, right?
You look at something like the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Some of them are quite ambitious.
And basically all the countries agree.
US, China, Russia, Ukraine, they all agree.
So instead of quibbling about the little things we don't agree on, let's start with the things we do agree on and get them done.
