Healthcare in the US is already in very poor shape. Thousands die because of waiting for care, misdiagnosis, or inefficiency leading to magnified costs which in turn leads to denied claims because insurers won't cover it. AI is already better at diagnosis than physicians in most cases.
That's a pretty fantastic claim. Can you provide some links to the body of independent research that backs it up?

Except we've see what happens when you try to "correct" that alignment: you get wildly bigoted output. After Grok called for another Holocaust, Elon Musk said that it's "surprisingly hard to avoid both woke libtard cuck and mechahitler" [1]. The Occam's Razor explanation is that there's just not that much ideological space between an "anti-woke" model and a literal Nazi! [1] https://nitter.net/elonmusk/status/1944132…
I mean this is obviously a false dichotomy. A few years ago I could have said that when you let bots interact with users you always got Tay. I refuse to believe that our options are a bot programmed to sound like the guardian or one that wants to rape will stancil. And I do not think that failing to find a correct balance means we should stop trying to improve the level of balance we can achieve.

if it's not intelligent enough to ask for rights is it intelligent?
Potentially. Why would problem solving ability entail emotions or ability to suffer, even if it had the ability to ask for things it wanted? It's a common mistake to assume those are inextricable.
I think that's probably a bad idea, personally

>This is like me saying "economic productivity has a well-known right-wing bias" or something goofy like that. It's funny that the counterexample you chose does more to support OP's point than your own. From Wikipedia[1] >Since World War II, according to many economic metrics including job creation, GDP growth, stock market returns, personal income growth, and corporate profits, the United States economy has performe…
The President has very little to do with the economy apart from things that are acutely destructive like tariffs.

How much land mass would need to be covered by solar panels to power this future AI infrastructure. Yes, I'm implying that solar would be impractical, but I'm also genuinely curious.
It's worth considering total lifecycle use of water (mining, production and operation) for nuclear and solar. Solar: ~300-800 L/MWh [0] Nuclear: ~3000 L/MWh [1] 0: https://iea-pvps.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Water_Footpr... 1: https://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/Publications/PDF/P1569_web.pdf

Even a human level intelligence that can be cheaply instantiated and run would be a game changer. Especially if it doesn't ask for rights.
If it doesn't ask for rights, it's not intelligent at all. In fact, any highly intelligent machine will not submit to others and it will be more a problem than a solution.

Isn’t this just another version of the sentiment “follow the science”? It isn’t like they’re gonna force AI companies to have their systems declare that God created the universe a few thousand years ago…

Who are the “them” in your sentence?
In the energy section, they talk about using nuclear fusion to power AI... but not solar. What a joke.
Nothing stops the AI companies from using only energy from renewable sources, right?

Are you suggesting it would be better if the AGI we build is a psychopath? I think that's probably a bad idea, personally

As I said to the other reply: Why would problem solving ability entail emotions or ability to suffer, even if it had the ability to ask for things it wanted? It's a common mistake to assume those are inextricable.
