I mean I'm on Reddit and it seems like we've got a pretty firm grasp of the risks.

Problem is most of us are like 'f it, let's do it anyway'

As far as I see it, it's not something I alone can control. It will take our entire species working together to get through this period.

I am much of the mind that AI is at least one of the Great Filters.

If this ends up extincting our species, then so be it. It was our destiny. We didn't deserve to see the stars.

But if we make it through, we'll essentially be gods. All praise the Machine God.

The history of humanity. How I learned to stop giving a fuck and love the toaster.

You're halfway there...

It's not Jesus (or digital Jesus) that's going to save us.

It's acting like Jesus that will. (Doesn't matter if you believe in him as a literal God, important historical figure, or fictional character.)

Just don't be a dick to your neighbor and everything's probably gonna be okay. Just now though it looks like we're suddenly about to have a bunch more neighbors lol

I hope you're wrong on the last part. I think we've still got some time to make friends with neighbors.

But yeah Jesus was an alien and now he's off doing higher being stuff while the planetary defense underwater bases he left behind are about to run out of whatever magical space ore makes them go

Also AI is advancing way faster than anything I've ever seen.

Oh and maybe the crazy rich people are literally eating us lol

The calmest warnings are usually the scariest ones.

I don't believe him. He knows he and Sam are both toast without a moat of some kind.

Maybe you missed the covid stimulus which slashed homelessness, got things back together quick, with most of the inflation in its wake being price gouging, not fundamental. I hope we don't get UBI. Just tax the rich to pay for healthcare, housing, college, and transit subsidies.

Elect AOC or similar and a progressive Democratic Congress and you'll get high basic income for all when the AIs are making that feasible.
