If an AGI were released to the general public, it would be devastating. Think of the worst thing you could do with a nimble AI that can learn and do anything, and it's only a matter of time before someone would use it for that purpose. The power of an AGI would be akin to a nuclear bomb, but for anything connected to the internet.

There are trolls and terrorists and mercenaries who would use it to pwn corporations and governments, disabling or even destroying public utilities, banks, hospitals, and rival entities. Not all of these entities are vulnerable, but enough would be that the attacks would completely disrupt trade and economies, and possibly the world economy. The US, Russia, China, and North Korea would not hesitate to obtain and weaponize AGI.

Ok so instead of China, Russia, NSA, terrorists, and you having AGI, your preference is that only China, Russia, NSA, and terrorists have it?

Have you tried being a writer? You really like to make shit up out of nothing.

Yes, tell me of a scenario where the decision to not release it to the public stops any of the above entities from developing it.

The thing you invented was my preference. My original statement was agnostic in that regard; I merely stated an eventuality. Which is why you got downvoted; you inferred something that wasn't there.
