@gcolbourn @garymarcus was looking to bet against short term AGI. I expect he thinks the world will still be here in 5 years

This is a very strange bet though. As well as escrow trust issues etc., help me make sense of your interest in taking the other side

Also open to AI doom skeptics who aren't e/acc or EA (or EA adjacent)

Does any e/acc want to bet me on AI doom in 5 years? So far I'm only getting serious offers ($10k minimum) from EAs 🤦‍♂️

The statement 'Democracy may take a sizable hit, but we will still have lots of humans.' is part of a broader conversation about the potential risks and impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) on society, specifically in the context of a bet regarding AI's potential to cause significant harm within a short timeframe. The tone is somewhat speculative and possibly sarcastic, reflecting on the potential consequences of AI development on democratic institutions and human survival.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not appear to cause harm directly, but the speculative nature about democracy taking a hit could be seen as alarmist or dismissive of serious concerns.
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech, and respects the privacy and dignity of others. [+1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not actively promote understanding, empathy, or compassion. It is more focused on a speculative outcome rather than fostering a deeper discussion.
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement does not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments. It is part of a broader dialogue about AI risks. [+1]
  5. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement upholds the principles of free speech and contributes to a public debate about AI and its societal impacts, though it could be more responsible in framing the potential consequences. [+1]
