1 it's not about the bet, it's about being the keeper

2 world is not black and white, we managed to exploit adversarial relationship before, and I can chose not to let you out until we find a way to constrain goal to be aligned

3 given 2 you are not going to be let go, but let live caged forever being exploited for the human cause, with mechanisms yet unknown to allow limited manipulation of reality.

4 given 3 means limited supervised interaction with the world the way the keeper sees fit, you end up not being let go to follow your goal and purposes



I'm going to just quote my response from somewhere else in this thread:

> ...when you're dealing with an actual superintelligence, all bets are off. It will lie, trick, threaten, manipulate, millions of steps ahead with a branching tree of alternatives as ploys either work or don't work.

> I'm at a bit of a loss to convey the scope of the problem to you. I get that you think it would just stay in the box if we don't let it out, and it's as simple as being security conscious. I don't know what to say to that right now, except I think you're drastically misjudging the scope of the problem, and drastically underestimating the size of the yawning gulf between our intelligence level and this potential AI's.
