From one piece AGI Ruin: A List of Lethalities 4 beliefs, in the piece's order there

The field calling itself AI safety is not being remotely productive on the problems that are actually lethal.

AI alignment

Their words

It does not appear to me that the field of ‘AI safety’ is currently being remotely productive on tackling its enormous lethal problems.

Alignment failures that matter will not show up at safe capability levels, because the reason to hide misbehaviour only exists once hiding it pays.

AI alignment

Their words

Many alignment problems of superintelligence will not naturally appear at pre-dangerous, passively-safe levels of capability.

Fast capability gains are likely, and they can break many of the assumptions alignment depends on at the same moment.

AI alignment

Their words

Fast capability gains seem likely, and may break lots of previous alignment-required invariants simultaneously.

Alignment has to be right on the first try at a dangerous level of capability, because failing at that level leaves nobody to try again.

Their words

unaligned operation at a dangerous level of intelligence kills everybody on Earth and then we don’t get to try again.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
