Statement on Superintelligence
superintelligence-statement.org
“We call for a prohibition on the development of superintelligence, not lifted before there is (1) broad scientific consensus that it will be done safely and controllably, and (2) strong public buy-in.”

Peep the signatories lol.

Edit: based on some of the messages left, I think many, if not most, of these signatories are just generally opposed to AI usage (good) rather than the basilisk of it all. But yeah, there’s some good names in this.

    I must admit that I signed this statement (before I discovered SneerClub) and I was definitely against AI usage as a whole (still am) but I also still think superintelligence shouldn’t be built, because if we’re letting Sam Altman and Elon Musk dictate the “values” encoded into it I do not want to live in that world
