threats: demonstrating powerful cyber or physical or social threats, and bargaining with competitors to shut down “or else”.social sabotage: auto-generating mass media campaigns to shut down competitor companies by legal means, or.physical sabotage: deploying tiny robotic systems that locate and destroy AI-critical hardware without (directly) harming any humans.cyber sabotage: hacking into competitors’ computer systems and destroy their data.By “forcibly” I mean methods that violate or threaten to violate private property or public communication norms, such as by using an AGI to engage in… Imagine it’s 2022 (it is!), and your plan for reducing existential risk is to build or maintain an institution that aims to find a way for you - or someone else you’ll later identify and ally with - to use AGI to forcibly shut down all other AGI projects in the world. Part 1: Negative Consequences of Pivotal Act Intentions I think all parts of this post are worth reading, but depending on who you are, I think you could be quite put off if you read the wrong part first and start feeling like I’m basing my argument too much on kinds-of-thinking that policy arguments should not be based on. Please read Part 2 first if you mostly want to evaluate policies based on the arguments behind them then Parts 1 and 3. Please read Part 1 first if you’re very impact-oriented and want to think about the consequences of various institutional policies more than the arguments that lead to the policies then Parts 2 and 3. Fortunately (according to me), successful AI labs do not seem to espouse this "pivotal act" philosophy. I find that the arguments for this conclusion are flawed, and that the conclusion itself causes harm to institutions who espouse it. It was the first ride where I had my arms up in the air the whole time.Tl dr: I know a bunch of EA/rationality-adjacent people who argue - sometimes jokingly and sometimes seriously - that the only way or best way to reduce existential risk is to enable an “aligned” AGI development team to forcibly (even if nonviolently) shut down all other AGI projects, using safe AGI. One woman said, “I felt like I could focus on the thrill of the ride. When the people from my group returned from the ride they were unanimous in their description that Mako was the smoothest ride they had ever been on. He described the Mako experience as ‘smooth’ and having just participated in an event for the Make a Wish Foundation, he referred to a six-year-old girl who was terrified for the first three hills. That is a 180° turn followed by a twist in the opposite direction, after which the train exits the turn in a second 180° turn. Mike Denninger, senior director of design and engineering said that a hammerhead turn (a coaster component that ironically names a shark species) is also an element of the ride. The Mako ride includes a series of hills and changes of speed as well as the experience of g force (measurement of acceleration of speed that causes weight). Mako sharks are known for their speed and ability to change direction or even jump out of the water. There are no inversions and to that Morrow said, “You don’t have to be upside down to have fun. Once in position, the music changes, there’s an explosion of strobe lights, and passengers morph into an apex predator as Mako shoots forward.īrian Morrow, creative director said, “This is an airtime monster with nine perfect moments of airtime.” Airtime is the experience of a negative gravity force - weightlessness. There are no shoulder straps, rather individual lap belts to allow freedom of the upper body. Riders sit four-in-a-row in cars marked with the five gills characteristic of the Mako. I offered to hold people’s bags while they braved Mako. It was at that point that I experienced inertia, the tendency of an object (moi) to resist change in its state of motion. The queue starts in an area called Shark Wreck Reef, which appears to be under a pier, with a shipwreck as the loading station. Mako reaches a height of (or a drop of) 60 meters (200 feet), covers almost 1.6 km (a mile), and reaches a speed of 117 kph (73 mph). The ride mimics the movement of the Mako shark, known for its great speed and agility, cruising along at 56 kph (35 mph) but accelerating to speeds of 96.5 kph (60 mph) when pursuing its prey. Billed as the tallest, longest and fastest roller coaster in Orlando, Mako opened to the public June 10. I was recently in Orlando to check out SeaWorld’s new steel hypercoaster ride - Mako.
