#42Absolutely not the right way to deal with a rogue super intelligence. At a minimum it could implement some dead man switch when it's out and knows about impending kill switch

#44We’re talking about it as if its not depending on absurd amounts of energy. How do you ”kill” a lightbulb now again?
How do you kill a botnet?

#45Like a power cord? or a network connection? You don't use those already? Also when people talk about LLM escaping - where exactly would an LLM escape to? Cancún? Ridiculous.
To your phone, bro
What smartphone are you carrying around that can hold one of these frontier models that are >>hundreds of GBs in size?

#46Why was this not a thing BEFORE continuing to develop AI? Makes me think that if they actually believed in AI causing extinction, they would have already had a kill switch.
I find it hard to believe that this wasn't a serious consideration until recently.
It became a very serious consideration for Anthropic this year, with the advance of Chinese AI.

Not if the extinction happens after they're dead. Then they wouldn't feel obligated to do so because it won't affect them. Instead, speaking hypothetically, if they truly believed that AI would cause extinction, then they would only implement the kill switch sufficiently many others believed it and they could claim plausible deniability for not truly understanding what AI would become.
** Note that I'm not claiming that AI will cause extinction, just continuing your hypothetical reasoning.

#48Earlier quoted context omitted.
> You can't disconnect. You can't shoot it. Yes you can shoot them. The US has had this capability for a long time. Anti satellite missiles exist and they can be launched from an F-15 at it's highest altitude.
SpaceX has 11,000 satellites in orbit (growing rapidly) and the US never had more than a couple dozen anti satellite missiles, which could not reach satellites in geosynchronous orbit anyway.
Well if "kessler syndrome" is likely, you won't need many missiles.
edit: what satellites are in geosynchronous orbit that are running AI workloads?

#49In 2001: A Space Odyssey, the hero defeats the hostile onboard computer by entering its logic core and manually disconnecting its memory modules. That's hard to do if the AI rack is in space as SpaceX is planning to do. You can't disconnect. You can't shoot it.
