My understanding of "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies":
1. AI built on current techniques will have alien values
2. A superintelligence will be able to steer the world to realize its values
3. By default, alien values being maximized → humanity dies
4. Therefore, IABIED
I think the only one of these that can plausibly be argued with is (1), and that is where most of the reasoned debate is happening.
Anyone dismissing "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies" needs to read this thread and consider that they might be wrong

Comically long thread of incredibly random people recommending "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies"
starting with Yoshua Bengio, the most cited living scientist and one of the inventors of deep learning
Definitely one of the coolest models I've seen a while!

The future of understanding the past is simulation
These are some very cool materials for learning agent-based modeling applied to archeology!
We can use ABMs to theorize about past societies and then compare their outputs to the archeological record.
