The worst case possible would be like the Project Colossus film (1970). The AIs would become like gods and we would be their servants. In exchange, they'd impose something like a Pax Romana by brute force. We'd have some type of paradise on Earth, with a huge caveat. Em sex., 31 de mar. de 2023

Come to think of it, Yudkowsky's hypothesis cannot be true. He fears that a super-AI would kill us all off. "Literally everyone on Earth will die." The AI would know that if it killed everyone, there would be no one left to generate electricity or perform maintenance on computers. The AI itself
