Power Concentration is The Real Immediate Danger of AGI

The immediate danger of AGI, as discussed in a developer community, is not AI alignment but rather power concentration. With AI demonstrating capabilities in solving Millennium Prize Problems, tackling math problems, and showing insane coding capabilities, it is believed to be on the verge of explosive recursive self-improvement (RSI). This could lead to a significant increase in wealth disparity, as a few AI companies could capture large percentages of GDP by replacing labor, such as software engineers and mathematicians. This silent killer could reach a point of no return while other issues distract society.

This discussion moves beyond the typical AI alignment debate to highlight power concentration as a more immediate and silent danger of AGI, unlike the focus on robots killing people.
