Ask HN: How to slow down AI development speed(also, estimate my ideas, please)

1•aac1122•52m ago
Hello everybody. So, the first: we should abandon likes and go to top-lists instead of them, and say "this is on first place of importance", "this is third place", and finally we will find the medium: "2nd place in average". To avoid sybil-attacks and get needed money, we may register proofs that we are really person with this e-mail, date and place of birth, first and last name to charity companies - they may reveal data about you like "this is a unique person", "this is 18+ person" etc., whether we want to deanonymize registered person or not.(Proof of Personhood/PoP + Sovereign Identity?)

Then, we should alarm/whistleblow the AI disaster as the most important things in the world*

Then, we should watch somehow who uses/trains AI. Some suggestions: OS, providers, antivirus systems. If you're closing this data or openly train AI too fast -

Then we will use cryptocurrency of smart-contracts to "sanction" personally - people in your country will never accept money that has ever been into your hands and will buy only goods with mark on it "Income from this product will never be into hands of those who are in not in our white list(detailed citizens) etc., and they will never be into hands of those people are in black list (Tainted Coins Audit?)*

Then, we should create IdeaPledge. Manifest is too long and AI-generated(so that I can't post it here), but TL;DR we should stop be such commies on the Internet information, and still not be greedy: we should try to agree with any information producer how much does his information cost. We should add payments like "If you're rich - pay 10x as much of the base cost, if you're poor - for free, but you should prove you studied something". and similar production - we should make internet-economics work not for free and not for corporations, but for world improvement, and ideas how to slow down AI development this way will be much better.

P.S. AI mentioned you may be too worried about privacy(personally I don't mind it roughly speaking about myself), so may you suggest any alternatives/trade-offs?

--- * We may also add weights to voices * Also, this is a good place for suggesting your dreams about the perfect world. ** Also, we may just boycott a lot of US military this way and economize a lot of money for much more useful purposes
