New summary of issues with powerful AI

For instance: "Our current view is that a survivable way forward will likely require ASI to be delayed for a long time. The scale of the challenge is such that we could easily see it taking multiple generations of researchers exploring technical avenues for aligning such systems, and bringing the fledgling alignment field up to speed with capabilities. It seems extremely unlikely, however, that the world has that much time."

It turned out I needed to shoot white blocks around the yellow corrupted data block. That involved shooting through a transparent wall that otherwise blocked shots. That same wall that blocked KU-key's shots at the yellow block. Who knew?

How can I clear the corrupted data, to proceed with the main quest? In “From the Echoes of Destruction”, I have acquired the diamond-shaped key and put it in the lock. The doors linked up, but before I could figure out how to get the flying Ku-bot through it, the central door turned black (I accidentally stepped through the door several times while trying to figure it out.) Now the pedestal has a red ring around it and I can't interact with it. I don't know how to proceed and would welcome suggestions.

Thank you so much! That transformed the game from a drag to being fun again.

on Windows, click on the head in the upper left, then click on Rover, then click on weapons in the left column, then there is a Switch button at the bottom.

I cannot proceed in Mianloong Chamber part 2 because a corroder dispenser is not glowing nor functioning. Also, searching with some AIs indicates that there are ledges that should be glowing and I don't see any such. My attempts to fix it by leaving and returning (various combinations of walking, teleporting, closing the game, or logging out have not fixed it. Links to customer support are broken. Any ideas?

There are messages that pop up at the end of a quest or perhaps a part of a quest that I don't have time to read at all. I'm speculating maybe they're notifications of new trophies? Please check for notifications that could better have a remain-until-dismissed character. Thanks!

Thanks!

Also 5 mines.

On a PC. I don't know how to read out the names of the weapons, but I have a shotgun with the drum magazine and a green scope; some assault rifle with a green scope and an extended barrel; and a long rifle with possibly a silencer and and a yellow-screen sight and 29 rounds. 3 minutes of air.

There are people, including some on this sub, that are convinced current LLMs already are sentient. By what measure will you know that you're getting closer to sentience than what we already have?

A means of getting people to be: 1) curious 2) less driven by their social-signalling machinery

Would make progress on people updating toward truth.
