Could ASI Running the Government by 2027 Be a Good Thing?
The "AI 2027" report, penned by researchers including former OpenAI analyst Daniel Kokotajlo, has sparked heated debate by predicting superintelligent AI (ASI) could control the U.S. government by 2027. While the report frames this as a warning, some reactions have been surprisingly enthusiastic, with sentiments like "Don’t threaten me with a good time!" and "Anything’s better than what we have now." This shift in perspective prompts a bold question: What if ASI governance isn’t a dystopian nightmare but a pathway to a better future?
