    This makes a lot of assumptions though and none of which are ones that I particularly agree with.

    First off, this is predicated entirely off of the assumption that AI is going to think like humans, have the same reasoning as humans/corporations and have the same goals/drive that corporations do.

    Since we cannot gather data on this, we must rely on the inferior method of using naive models to predict future behavior.

    This does pull the entire argument into question though. It relies on simple models to try and predict something that doesn’t even exist yet. That is inherently unreliable when it comes to its results. It’s hard to guess the future when you won’t know what it looks like.

    Decision Theory

    Decision Theory has one major drawback which is that it’s based entirely off of past events and does not take random chance or unknown-knowns into account. You cannot focus and rely on “expected variations” in something that has never existed. The weather cannot be adequately predicted three days out because of minor variables that can impact things drastically. A theory that doesn’t even take into account variables simply won’t be able to come close to predicting something as complex and unimaginable as artificial intelligence, sentience and sapience.

    Like I said.

      Why do you think that? What part of what I said made you come to that conclusion?

      worthless

      Oh, I see. You just want to be mean to me for having an opinion.
