In San Francisco, some people wonder when A.I. will kill us all
Summary
Kim is the curator and driving force behind the Misalignment Museum, a new exhibition in San Franciscos Mission District displaying artwork that addresses the possibility of an “AGI,” or artificial general intelligence. Bostrom, an Oxford University philosopher often associated with Rationalist and Effective Altruist ideas, published a thought experiment in 2003 about a super-intelligent AI that was given the goal to manufacture as many paper clips as possible. "There is a great deal of overlap between these EAs and the Rationalists, an intellectual movement founded by Eliezer Yudkowsky, who developed and popularized our ideas of Artificial General Intelligence and of the dangers of Misalignment," reads an artist statement at the museum. It was made by artists affiliated with the current hacker house scene in San Francisco, where people live in group settings so they can focus more time on developing new AI applications. "The Church of GPT utilizes GPT3, a Large Language Model, paired with an AI-generated voice to play an AI character in a dystopian future world where humans have formed a religion to worship it," according to the artists.
