S-Risk – Factory Farming

Dear people who think s-risks are unlikely: My challenge to you: watch factory farming footage, then see if you’ve changed your mind.
Seriously. Go do it.


The factory farming video below I think will do a good job showing how the vast majority of mammalian life on this planet is experiencing reality.
I predict you’ll change your mind.

S-risks can happen.
They are happening!!!

We, humans, are a superintelligence compared to all other living beings (so far).
And we have created inescapable hell on earth for trillions of them!
Even the ones we love we buy and sell, kidnap from their mothers as children, and forcefully sterilize.
And this is what we do with our power
Because they’re dumber than us!
That’s the actual moral reasoning we use. “They’re dumb. They probably don’t experience pain like we do”
All day, every day, until they are slaughtered in literal honest to god gas chambers.

They have absolutely no hope of escape.
They are born because we create them, and then we torture them.
Because it’s pleasurable to us.
“Bacon tastes good” is all of the justification we need.

And AIs are likely to have humans in their values because we’ll put those values into them. Almost any value system we give AIs will include living humans.
But if we get the values wrong in some way, we could end up with inescapable hellscapes.
