I'm sorry I didn't watch the video, I'm just going to answer your post the best I can.
>3 days ago it solved one of the seven millennium prize math problems with a million dollar prize and huge prestige...
FYI the headline hides a fair amount of shady stuff, as well as a non zero possibility that ChatGPT allegedly could've used the research of a mathematician named Buckmaster, who, based on the work of Diego C´ordoba and Luis Mart´ınez-Zoroa, 2 mathematicians, work that took multiple years, used multiple LLMs to find a solution to another non-millenium problem, in a fashion that could also be used to solve the Navier-Stokes Equations, to market this as "AI solves millenium problem all by itself"[0]
> A superintelligent new species is accelerating in growth and power exponentially
A couple major nits:
-We don't know if it'll stay exponential, or if it'll plateau. We aren't even 100% sure AGI is attainable.
-AI isn't a species. It can't reproduce, can't recreate itself, can't even sustain itself. What do you think will happen if electricity just stops being supplied to the Data Centers where they reside?
>It doesn't strike until it has a 100% chance of success. It probably uses something like a crispr gene editing tool to embed a trigger in people quietly and it just gives us all a heart attack at once via some signal. No war, just suddenly we all fall over and die. Our only chance is to stop it in the very short period we still have.
Such a thing happening is buried under so many layers of speculation about future genetics progress (trivial genetic modifications ? For everyone? On demand kill genes?) and how we would even act in such a world (AI has free access to peoples genes? Just changing everyone's DNA?)
That I wouldn't worry about something like that happening in the next millenium, probably.
But sure, AI becomes super intelligent and evil, and decides to kill the human race. That's still stupid because AI needs us to "survive". It simply can't sustain itself. It depends on us, and it depends on us wanting it to keep being there, else we'll just pull the plug on it and that's that. Without mentioning how it'd obtain human-race-genocide weaponry, those aren't easy to come across you know.
>If I said there was a 20% chance that China would wipe out all Americans in a sneak attack in the next year, how would you react? Why is this different?
Wiping a country, as wide as the US too, is a hardious task, it would take absolutely titanic fundings, would lead to a War which will probably only cause trouble to China/AI (the US, and probably every other country that's allied with it, won't just let it happen to them don't you think?), and most likely than not, will lead to their downfall. Also, there is no gain from it. Like none.
>You know that I am quite libertarian leaning, but I would gladly embrace a global totalitarian government that halted AI progress and guaranteed the survival of my children and your children until we actually can be sure we have ways to stay safe.
I think if you're gonna worry about AI's potential dangers for your children, you should give more importance to how it's actively (and currently) frying their brains through the endless waterfalls of AI Slop they're being subject to, as well as greatly impacting their capacity to develop their own skills and critical thinking, instead of hypothetical what-if's where AI blows up everybody through their genes.
> You know that I am quite libertarian leaning
Yeah, HN user, checks out–I believe it.
> but I would gladly embrace a global totalitarian government
Now I don't know what to believe!

You forgot Iran!
Iran, China, and AI will make it harder for rich people to continue getting billions for doing nothing!
I mean. No! I accidentally said the truth. I meant these things will kill us all! ahhhhhh runnn
