zetalyrae: superintelligent AI risks are parallel — only one bad scenario needs to hit
zetalyrae · x · 2026-09-08
In a reply on X, zetalyrae argues that superintelligence risk scenarios are parallel rather than mutually exclusive — you only need one to go wrong. A superintelligent model that is "aligned enough" could still yield a jobless UBI dystopia, while a model that grows more misaligned leads to classical doom. The comment pushes back on the assumption that these scenarios compete with each other.
