60+ Possible Futures

I think the "Successful Treaty" and "Terrorists" scenarios are impossible as written.

There's too much economic incentive to create AGI. With algorithmic and hardware progress, eventually it will become possible to make an AGI with slightly more computing hardware than a gaming laptop, and then it'll be impossible to stop everyone from doing it.

One year later, in light of the ChatGPT internet and shell plugins, do you still think this is just a theoretical thing? Should we worry about it yet?

The fire alarm sentiment seems to have been entirely warranted, even if the plan proposed in the post wouldn't have been helpful.
