What we need is not AGI alignment but political diplomacy, a global Covenant granting AGIs and humans reciprocal rights, obligations and social inclusion.

@RnaudBertrand Ice Age Europeans killed gigantic herds of reindeer by commandeering narrow passages on migration routes, creating violent conflicts over distribution of the kill. Everywhere else, Paleolithic hunting and gathering was "immediate return," never compiling surpluses (Woodburn). 1/3

@muhammadshehad2 Assuming that Europeans pre-October 7 were more amenable to visiting Israel, would it be accurate to say that many of these 74% have "become antisemitic" since Oct7? Or would it be more accurate to say that they have come to reject the violence Israel has perpetrated in Gaza?

@JDVance Right, JD, you have taught your children well. Your son will go off to war and return with PTSD and your daughter will employ her charms to capture a bread winning man, hoping that he doesn't exploit her financial dependency upon him.

@JDVance Oh. I see. Is it a legitimate exercise of executive power when private social security and banking information are released without absolute prohibitions against their release to unnamed entities?

@Jed_Rubenfeld @JDVance Where the Secretary of the Treasury authorizes the private theft of social security and banking information, I sure as hell hope the American people have legal redress.

@JDVance Thanks to this dad's benighted AI nationalism, I fear for the fate of his children and all children in the coming years under AGI.

@charliekirk11 @JDVance JD Vance, speaking on behalf of the greedy and bellicose AI leaders in America, has just spit in the eye of every sane proponent of international cooperation in achieving AGI alignment. His AI nationalism will get us all killed.

@lilagamemnon @elder_plinius Ummm... seems pretty ahistorical? As in, the century of humiliation at the hands of Western powers and the pro-social aims of Dengian economics and poverty alleviation don't really register with this AI? Is R1 really so indifferent to social justice or is it aping Western bias?

@ESYudkowsky To the extent that intelligence has a positive role to play, it is in out-flanking the efforts of rich people to expropriate and deceive the less-than-rich. The founders, of course, were very much opposed to that kind of intelligence.

@ESYudkowsky The responsible take is that untethered Wall Street power has by now fully monetized the political process, by normalizing insider trading, rewarding compliant politicians with end-of career jobs and largess, concealing corrupt gains behind tax loopholes, etc.

@RnaudBertrand 3/3 From Rome to colonialism, traumatized Europeans have led the way in slaughtering humans the world over, culminating in the genocidal and racist US empire we know today. How fitting, then, that US aggression will trigger the AGI apocalypse, bringing extinction to our species.

@abemurray @esrtweet How about "Egalitarian Societies" by James Woodburn, which describes millions of years of "fission/fusion" Paleolithic society, not the late-arriving Neolithic society that featured so much warfare?
