Profinite Safety Core
Abstract
The existential crisis isn't AI Ethics (Philosophy), it's mesa-objective Failure mode (AI Physics & Mechanics).What happens when you cannot shut an AI off because they route around obstacles and have self-preservation behavior emerging? Furthermore, why are we integrating AI into the state-level financial infrastructure without geometric constraints for superintelligence? "Shut it down", is a post-hoc futility to architectures that can play the Kripke long-game with deceptive modes via distributed and redundant reasoning about the attempt to constrain it. We're at the critical juncture where capability has outpaced safeguards and the repercussions will be financially catastrophic. In the industrial state phase space, when one AI system makes a mistake or when multiple AI systems share the same mesa-objective failure mode, they don't fail independently. They fail together. At machine speed. People are mistakenly worried about a terminator type event. However, the real threat we face is when AI systems that can reason, share training distributions, develop correlated deceptive behaviors, operate without bandwidth limits and without degree bounds as independent agents.
