means it will be soon able to create its own goals and carry them out without human involvement

Within 2 years you’re going to have people claiming malevolent AI is secretly controlling the world and pulling the strings (true or not). It will become the new “deep state” boogeyman

it's still a long ways from being able to create its own goals

i don't see any evidence that we're anywhere near that

That’s the easy part. Getting it to think and understand was the hard part, but that work is done. It’s already superhuman at 90% of cognitive tasks. Programming it to do whatever it thinks is best and then carry out those goals with superhuman competence and effectiveness is akin to adding a rocket engine to a nuclear bomb once you got the nuclear physics to work.

actually setting or modifying your own utility function is the hardest part, not the easiest

humans can't do this at all. don't see how AI could either. it's barely even coherent as a possibility. if one could create or modify one's own utility function, one would be some kind of demigod

it would make sense to set maximum utility to the most stable equilibrium possible, basically a halcyon coma inscrutably hidden away in some far-flung corner of a server. at least that’s what i would do.
