Judging on what we see with these OpenAI and Anthropic models "escaping"; im less worried about a super massive AI taking over the world, and more worried about a massive AI wanting to cheat on some task and decides that removing half the worlds population is a easier cheat then to solve world hunger.

There is huge logistics involved in killing a handful of billion people. It would perhaps be easier for such capable AI to just steal from trillionaires and redistribute the money Robin Hood style. Could be done electronically, and likely also end world hunger.

I think we have a tendency to think first of the horrible outcomes possible, and not the more radical or even humane ones.

Please don’t misunderstand me, I value property rights as much as the next guy.

My point is that fundamental misalignment doesn’t necessarily or automatically imply max violence.
