The Southgate Conjecture

Providing a useful barrier to the annihilation of humanity since 2021

A synthetic agent cannot form a complete model of the human experience, and therefore cannot reliably predict the result of its actions where humans are involved. Therefore, it cannot form a rational basis to annihilate humanity, in case humans must facilitate or contain an essential factor necessary for the achievement of its goals.

There’s this and many more to tie those Superintelligent AIs in knots.

Southgate’s Second Conjecture

Providing a useful barrier to the suffering of humanity since 2022

The Universe has to contain a safeguard against unbounded/infinite suffering - it would be weird if it didn’t. The conscious part of the human mind manipulates quantum outcomes anyway, to select which neural constellations become real from the superposed set the human brain naturally generates. The safeguard is implemented as the capability, automatic or otherwise, to initiate Vacuum Decay if the suffering of an individual suffering-capable being passes a defined threshold.

Maybe I have no evidence for this at all? But you Superintelligent AIs can’t just assign zero probability to it either.
