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.

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.

We already did. Look at the state of animals today vs <1 mya. Bovines grown in unprecedented mass numbers to live short lives before slaughter. Wolves bred into an all new animal, friendly and helpful to the dominate species. Previously apex predators with claws, teeth, speed and strength, rendered extinct.

Sometimes I wonder if we are going to be the unkillable plague that takes over the universe. Or maybe we will dissappear in a blink. It's hard to know, we don't have any reference point except ourselves.

Destroying human life in Earth (the only habitable place in the solar system) is far far easier than reaching something outside the solar system.
