How AIs could take over, without warning, in just hours to days Important: Sora doesn’t just “create videos” - it simulates physical reality! Like, ever practiced an upcoming speech in your head? Sora does too - it “runs experiments in its head” What’s scary about this? Well, if an AI “thinks” a million times faster than you, it can run millions of experiments in the time it takes a human scientist to run ONE experiment. What happens after it runs a a trillion science experiments “in its head”? It could blow past us and be smart enough to take over, if it wants to. Some people say “well, there are constraints in the REAL world” Yeah, maybe. But maybe not, and we all just drop dead, because it figured out something that our stupid chimp brains THOUGHT was “impossible” Remember, every time you tap your magic rectangle it SEEMS like magic to chimps. Nukes are “impossible” to chimps. If you were a chimp you'd think humans "violate the laws of physics" every day What’s extra scary about fast takeoffs - "intelligence explosions" - is that we might get little to no warning before they happen. How likely is this? Idk but roughly 1 in 3 AI safety researchers expect fast takeoff by default.
