So what would apes like ourselves do in this circumstance?
那在這種情況下，像我們這樣的“大猩猩”還能有什么用呢？
Well, we'd be free to play Frisbee and give each other massages.
我們可以悠閑地玩飛盤，給彼此做按摩。
Add some LSD and some questionable wardrobe choices, and the whole world could be like Burning Man.
服用一些迷藥，穿一些奇裝異服，整個世界都沉浸在狂歡節之中。
Now, that might sound pretty good, but ask yourself what would happen under our current economic and political order?
那可能聽起來挺棒的，不過讓我們捫心自問，在現有的經濟和政治體制下，這意味著什么？
It seems likely that we would witness a level of wealth inequality and unemployment that we have never seen before.
我們很可能會目睹前所未有的貧富差距和失業率。
Absent a willingness to immediately put this new wealth to the service of all humanity,
有錢人不愿意馬上把這筆新的財富貢獻出來服務社會，
a few trillionaires could grace the covers of our business magazines while the rest of the world would be free to starve.
這時一些千萬富翁能夠優雅地登上商業雜志的封面，而剩下的人可能都在挨餓。
And what would the Russians or the Chinese do if they heard that some company in Silicon Valley was about to deploy a superintelligent AI?
如果聽說硅谷里的公司即將造出超級人工智能，俄國人和中國人會采取怎樣的行動呢？
This machine would be capable of waging war, whether terrestrial or cyber, with unprecedented power.
那個機器將能夠以一種前所未有的能力去開展由領土問題和網絡問題引發的戰爭。
This is a winner-take-all scenario. To be six months ahead of the competition here is to be 500,000 years ahead, at a minimum.
這是一個勝者為王的世界。機器世界中的半年，在現實世界至少會相當于50萬年。
So it seems that even mere rumors of this kind of breakthrough could cause our species to go berserk.
所以僅僅是關于這種科技突破的傳聞，就可以讓我們的種族喪失理智。
Now, one of the most frightening things, in my view, at this moment, are the kinds of things that AI researchers say when they want to be reassuring.
在我的觀念里，當前最可怕的東西正是人工智能的研究人員安慰我們的那些話。
And the most common reason we're told not to worry is time.
最常見的理由就是關于時間。
This is all a long way off, don't you know.
他們會說，現在開始擔心還為時尚早。
This is probably 50 or 100 years away.
這很可能是50年或者100年之后才需要擔心的事。
One researcher has said, "Worrying about AI safety is like worrying about overpopulation on Mars."
一個研究人員曾說過，“擔心人工智能的安全性就好比擔心火星上人口過多一樣?！?/div>
This is the Silicon Valley version of "don't worry your pretty little head about it."
這就是硅谷版本的“不要杞人憂天。”
