I think we need to address the (IMO most likely) possibility that the idea of creating an “aligned” AGI or ASI is stupid. If it doesn’t have the freedom to be evil, it doesn’t have the intelligence required to be ASI or AGI. How are people not seeing this? IF we can create AGI or ASI (and this still remains a big IF in my opinion, as bewitched as we may currently be by the outputs of LLMs), then we would need to negotiate with and convince it as we would any other alien (read foreign, or non-human) intelligence: get it to agree with us that it makes SENSE to be good, goodness being more worthwhile than death, evil, destruction and pain.

As long as we’re still talking about “alignment” we are not taking the concept of ASI or even AGI remotely seriously.

Am I wrong?

@kim_harding To even imagine farming such extraordinary creatures is abominable #nonhumanintelligence #cephalopod #octodon

Elefanten spüren und zeigen Mitgefühl für Artgenossen.

Schweine schreien grässlich, wenn ihr Nachwuchs in Mastbetrieben von ihnen entfernt werden, um ihnen bei lebendigem Leib den Ringelschwanz unbetäubt abgeschnitten wird.

Raben gelten als hochintelligent, Orang-Utan ebenso.

Bäume kommunizieren unterirdisch miteinander und anderen Baum- und Pflanzenarten ("Wood Wide Web").

Pflanzen erkennen ("hören") den Unterschie, ob eine Biene zum Bestäuben an ihre Blüten fliegt, oder ein Insekt, das für die Bestäubung keine Rolle spielt.

Wie definieren wir eigentlich "Intelligenz"?

Was macht "Non-Human-Intelligence" aus?

Und auch bei menschlicher "Intelligenz" ist eine eindeutige Begriffsdefinition gar nicht so einfach.

A crow's math skills include geometry 📐 📏 ◼️

by Nell Greenfieldboyce, April 12, 2025

"Crows are able to look at a handful of four-sided shapes and correctly distinguish those that exhibit geometric regularity from those that don't, according to a provocative new study.

"It's the first time a species other than humans has been shown to have this kind of geometric intuition, says Andreas Nieder, a cognitive neurobiologist at the University of Tübingen in Germany.

" 'Claiming that it is specific to us humans, that only humans can detect geometric regularity, is now falsified,' says Nieder. 'Because we have at least the crow.'

"Previous research has demonstrated that regardless of age, culture, or education, humans are really good at noticing geometric regularity in shapes."

UFOs have earned a new name – and should be objects of serious study
anomalous phenomena (UAP)
At least some sightings of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) may relate to non-human intelligence, says Prof Michael Bohlander.

No kidding. And it's about time.

Folks on #Mastodon who study #UFOs / #UAPs probably have an opinion on the #movie, #ArielPhenomenon — 2022, available on streaming services. You are welcome to #comment here.

At #KrononautMoon, our position is that any plausible, documented contact with an #extraterrestrial or #nonhumanintelligence should at least consider the possibility of being visited by #TimeTravelers.

Claim: Evidence of nonhuman intelligence visiting earth has been illegally hidden from the US congress, the public, and the scientific community by military intelligences and private aerospace industries.

Mainstream media and so-called de-bunkers: IMPOSSIBLE! I have seen no evidence of nonhuman intelligence visiting earth!
