This is a Military project. Have no doubts about it.

This is a money making scheme.

This has cosmological significance if it leads to superintelligence

>>arisAl+we1
It won't unless there's another (r)evolution in the underlying technology / science / algorithms, at this point scaling up just means they use bigger datasets or more iterations, but it's more finetuning and improving the existing output then coming up with a next generation / superintelligence.

Okay, but let’s be pessimistic for a moment. What can we do if that revolution does happen, and they’re close to AGI?

I don’t believe the control problem is solved, but I’m not sure it would matter if it is.

>>Fillig+3o1
Being pessimistic, how come no human supergeniuses ever took over the world? Why didn't Leibniz make everyone else into his slaves?

I don't even understand what the proposed mechanism for "rouge AI enslaves humanity" is. It's scifi (and not hard scifi) as far as I can see.

Once you have one AGI, you can scale it to many AGI as long as you have the necessary compute. An AGI never needs to take breaks, can work non-stop on a problem, has access to all of the world's information simultaneously, and can interact with any system it's connected to.

To put it simply, it could outcompete humanity on every metric that matters, especially given recent advancements in robotics.
