    Ehhhh… He’s not wrong. AI is going to be a bigger deal than all of those. ASI has the potential to fix those other issues or be an even bigger problem than any of them. One way or another, the world won’t be the same after it arrives.

      AI is going to be a bigger deal than the extinction of the human race due to infinite amounts of corporate greed?

      You think there is something MORE pressing than literal extinction? That’s quite something

        Yes, because the extinction of the human race due to a catastrophic AI scenario could happen even sooner than climate change could kill us all.

            It’s not unrealistic for a dipshit fascist to put an ai in charge of a nuclear arsenal and for it to destroy the world because of a passing red balloon. That said, the ai is quite a few steps down the line of things that need to be delt with in that chain.

          What, is the AI going to dump a trillion tons of carbon dioxide into the air to cause a catastrophic runaway greenhouse effect, making huge swathes of the earths prime agricultural regions uninhabitable and forcing hundreds of millions of people to flee to other countries, emboldening fascist movements that seize on the fear of migrants and the strain on local resources, while increasing heat means more frequent super storms that destroy infrastructure while much of the global coasts are submerged, crippling international trade and driving famines and resource shortages on critical goods like medicine?

          lol AI (even if we get anything approaching AI) will be in the hands of capitalists. they’re the ones to fear. hell doesnt come from outside, stop with this nonsense. we already have hell at home.
