lol, how the fuck is ASI going to solve any of those problems? we already know _how_ to solve them; the problem is that we don't want to, collectively speaking, because certain powerful, wealthy people would loose out if we did. ASI wouldn't change anything. unless you think... all of human society is going to restructure itself around unquestioning worship of the Machine God and would therefore present no resistance to its proposed solutions?
What is the solution?
The fantastical belief is that ASI will be able to make things happen because it knows the right things to say to the right people at the right time in just the right way to make them do whatever it wants them to do.
Certain powerful wealthy people aren't omnipotent, them losing out isn't the only blocker to progress.
Consider this: All that hardware that's going into those datacentres right now? In 5 years or so it'll all be on the secondary market... an influx of cheaper compute like you've never seen.
