Dealing with AI as a Dystopian Threat to Humanity
summary
Argues that runaway AI is realistic only if it controls physical resources and offers four concrete defensive constraints: hard boundaries between intelligence levels, limit self-replication and self-repair, control all energy sources and secure critical infrastructure. Cites examples and numbers: CRISPR human trials 20+, Black Death killed ~40% of Europe, Go programs sped up by specialized chips, self-driving cars as a vector. Warns technological human augmentation in ~10–15 years could erase those boundaries and undermine the proposed rules.
