Likewise , mate ! Started at a Uni , dropped . Enrolled into a Community College , and hitting my 3 rd year and need one my year to transfer . Just typing this makes me feel discourage , but you need to keep going . <| sep |> Is this season pass worth it ? heard it waste garbage <| sep |> But Verner is quality depth , elite teams have quality depth . <| sep |> What you seem to be skeptical about is the Orthogonality Thesis about goals and intelligence . It states that you can have any combination of goals and intelligence , and thus it is possible to create a superintelligent paperclip maximiser . I think someone from MIRI has written an essay on it . The thesis does have critics though , that I think suggest the following Superintelligence entails an ' openended intelligence ' which is not concerned with the maximisation of one or a small set of goals A Superintelligence entails a very particular kind of goal maximising entity , and not an arbitrary kind . Both of those are basically saying that no you can ' t have any combination of goal and intelligence capacity or that many bad combinations are in fact unlikely . Finally I ' ll note that Bostrom ' s book gives other ways in which we could fuck things up that are not the fault of the AI but certainly due to its presence . Sam has mentioned this , concerns broadly fall in the areas of politics , economics , and social wellbeing .
