From one piece The economy could survive a downtick in A.I. 2 beliefs, in the piece's order there

korrents.com
AI safety worriers and AI optimists both believe AI will be a hugely transformative economic success, unlike the AI-bubble skeptics.

AI alignment

Their words

From an investment viewpoint, the opposite of the safetyist view is "it's all a bubble," not "A.I. is going to be really good."

If AI investment pulled back, the capital and resources involved would shift to other productive uses rather than sit idle.

Their words

Resources that are currently dedicated to A.I. would not otherwise sit idle.

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.
