@FukuyamaFrancis No, we don't.
That's like saying in 1920 "we need an international treaty to ban jet engines"
@FukuyamaFrancis Thank you.
@FukuyamaFrancis We need an international treaty to ban banning superintelligence.
We need superintelligence.
@FukuyamaFrancis No, we don't. We have no need to ban scientific and technological progress, it would only harm us, and any such treaty would be observed almost entirely in the breach, allowing countries that dislike Western values to gain the upper hand worldwide.
@FukuyamaFrancis Says a lot about a person that they imagine superintelligence as most likely misanthropically evil.
@ylecun @FukuyamaFrancis it's time to ban the printing press until we figure out this social alignment stuff
@FukuyamaFrancis No we need global cooperation to accelerate Artificial Superintelligence
@FukuyamaFrancis You cannot stop the acceleration.
History is starting again.
@FukuyamaFrancis
@FukuyamaFrancis too bad
not only is it impossible to define, it is impossible to ban
it's language
@FukuyamaFrancis @ForHumanityPod What's your definition of "superintelligence"?
@FukuyamaFrancis How would you define it?
@ylecun @FukuyamaFrancis Im not sure jet engines and superintelligence deserve equivalence
@ylecun @FukuyamaFrancis Based
@ylecun @FukuyamaFrancis When do we get a consumer product from your lab
@FukuyamaFrancis Phobia suppresses sanity. It’s doubly ironic when the phobia is directed at intellect.
@ylecun @FukuyamaFrancis I support yann here
Superintelligence can create more jobs that we can’t even imagine now
@ylecun @FukuyamaFrancis What's an example of an observation that would meaningfully shift you on this issue? Last I checked, you think LLM-ish AIs won't scale to superintelligence, but you think it would be very dangerous if they did. Is there a concrete capability you're confident LLMs won't exhibit?

@FukuyamaFrancis We need an international treaty to embrace maximum acceleration. Every day we delay kills more people waiting for future disease cures. You are literally calling for their death.
