“The purest case of an intelligence explosion would be an Artificial Intelligence rewriting its own source code. The key idea is that if you can improve intelligence even a little, the process accelerates. It's a tipping point. Like trying to balance a pen on one end - as soon as it tilts even a little, it quickly falls the rest of the way.” IfsWayTryingLittlesIdeasEndsWould BeFallProcessCasesSourceKeysBalanceCodePensArtificial IntelligenceArtificialExplosionsAccelerateRewritingTippingTiltTipping Point Author:Eliezer Yudkowsky

I'm trying to find that balance between attacking and spotting up and things like that.” WayTryingStillsUseFallGamesStudyToo MuchBalanceIncreaseAddFloatingAttackingComplacentUsing MePerimeter Author:Blake Griffin
“As deaths have accumulated I have begun to think of life and death as a set of balance scales. When one is young, the scale is heavily tipped toward the living. With the first death, the first consciousness of death, the counter scale begins to fall. Death by death, the scales shift weight until what was unthinkable becomes merely a matter of gravity and the fall into death becomes an easy step.” ThinkingFirstsMatterYoungDeathFallEasyConsciousnessStepsBalanceWeightScalesLife And DeathGravityUnthinkable Book:Temporary Homelands Source: Temporary Homelands
