Just curious who you think is avoiding the question? As if it’s a conspiracy? Every single leader I know that is involved with AI talks about it all the time.

Superintelligence can solve all the things we’re struggling to solve. All human diseases, Earth being destroyed, fundamental questions about the universe, etc., etc. etc., etc. Worth pursuing?

Can also destroy earth if we make something as powerful as you describe ?

And nuclear weapons had a chance of setting the atmosphere on fire, it was still worth it to try! /s

There is no reason to assume superintelligence can solve all our problems. The trade offs required are not going away and disagreements on those are not necessarily rational.

Can it solve some of them likely? Probably worth it then?
