I feel like I'm taking crazy pills:

> whether it is "alive" is irrelevant to p(doom)

This is an assumption! You don't even know if that's true! Consider, is it even remotely justified?

I suppose that's fair. Should have said being alive is not necessarily a requirement for doom. But all of us are giving our opinions here.

  • I tend to agree that debates about gpt being "alive" or "conscious" seem like red herrings: let's look at the emergent behavior and how that affects the world instead of guessing about its internal state.
