YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAI isn’t dangerous because it becomes evil — it’s dangerous because it becomes indifferent.
In this Off Limits clip, Bryan Callen talks with Nate Soares, president of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, about why future superintelligent systems could be vastly more capable than humans while caring zero about our survival.
Nate breaks down why advanced AI doesn’t need hatred, malice, or intention to destroy humanity — only total agnosticism. Just like skyscrapers aren’t built to hurt ants, superintelligence may optimize the world without factoring humans in at all.
This is one of the clearest explanations of AI risk, alignment, and why “making it do good” doesn’t come for free.
