#2Law is artificial intelligence, so technically we're already in one of those scenarios in most of the world.
Law records what most people have expressed is desirable behavior in society.
Presumably the extremely adjacent concept of knowledge which may be encoded into DNA may also be thought of in this way, so that even under "the law of the jungle".
DNA records what forms can survive and replicate in a given environment.
... "AI takeover" is already the status quo.

#7This is a good reminder that when these models are intelligent enough to be dangerous not only will there be insufficient safeguards, but the developers won't even try to be safe. This is like confirming your gun isn't loaded by pointing it at your friend and pulling the trigger.
Of course these models aren't dangerous - but that's becoming less and less certain as their capabilities develop. I'm not even how many more GPT's to go until we reach truly dangerous levels.
Imagine the Red Team for GPT-10 asks it to "convince me to help you take over the world" and it basilisks him successfully...
