Laundry list of ideas on public persuasion around ASI risk
Disclaimer
Main
- I'm not working on this but maybe some of these have value:
- make a voice-to-video doompilling app using AI. Use real human video clips but have AI direct the conversation and figure out which clip to respond when. There are text-to-text doompilling apps but video could have more reach.
- Demonstrate use of automated drone swarm on a civilian population. (You can do this without actually harming anyone.) See also: Draft youtube script on Snowden and drone war
- AI sex video chat, as proof of concept that AI girlfriends are going to increasingly become the norm (unless research paused)
- run social media ads, run billboard ads, etc - I'm not optimistic on ads but I think someone should try anyway. I especially want someone to do more in-person stuff outside San Francisco, since the discourse has only penetrated SF so far. See also: Run billboard ads on ASI risk outside San Francisco
- virtual art galleries. See also: You can use virtual art galleries to inspire people
- Make a game using google maps street views. Basically like pokemon Go, you can create an overlay fictional world on top the the real world (as depicted by google maps street views). For instance, you can realistically show what an ASI takeover would look like, or you can make it more fantasy-like and show the AI companies as hell and the guards as hellspawn / minibosses and so on.
- Make AI-generated music using suno AI or similar. Take inspiration from the musicians from the counterculture of the 1960s (successor to 1950s anti-nuclear protests), or from other examples in Srdja Popovick's book.
- Make a webapp that lets you login using google, then shows you anti-AI clips from all the youtubers you are already following using this google account. Most people defer to someone, who in turn defers to someone, and so on. You can accelerate information cascade across the entire deference chain.
