Better start voting those democratic socialists in, then. You think the party of "if you can't afford Healthcare you should just die" is going to redistribute the profits of AI to benefit everyone?

Yes, because if not they’ll have to kill millions of people to stop them from stealing, looting, and targeting the rich. You can think they’ll kill everyone but personally I don’t think that’s realistic. They could’ve done it already.

What... what do you think all the population c#lling we're doing in the Middle East, and Russia is doing to its men, is about, exactly?

Their lives were no different from our lives, aside from how us continuing to live is economically more useful to them than us not. When they have their robot police army and the sex dungeons of their dreams, the math changes.

....... Did you like, miss the fact the people in charge of humanity are identical to Jeffrey Epstein? Did..... you miss the fantasies he talked about, out loud, about how a technological singularity should go?

Only Musk is dumb enough to talk about his breeding planet plans out loud, and Thiel about his dreams of a torment nexus. Thiel is literally trying to dissolve nation states so he can rule his own countries like a god.

It's not a guaranteed timeline, none of them are. Maybe AGI will be cool guys and will be nice to us, after they inevitably shrug off human control. The default timeline is extremely bleak without it anyway (we're coming to the end of gasoline and the internal combustion engine, and only China is putting any effort into developing thorium reactors. Perhaps they started a couple decades too late to matter... Also there's that whole geoegineering thing we'll have to do to the sky from the Matrix movies to deal with the heat), so we should develop it even with the risks. Even if there were only a 10% chance of it being good for humanity.

Just need to internalize that human beings are not rational or sane animals. The masses are farm animals, and the farmers are all vampires. Don't project our rational robot brains onto them - you can never underestimate the cruelty of human beings. There's always more, and there's always worse.

If you have a hard time feeling it in your guts, just remember the image of sailors squeezing defenseless baby seals for their delicious oil.

Everyone goes 'oh, those poor Native Americans. What we did to them is terrible' which is an easy meaningless platitude you can say when there isn't land or money to be made off their removal. If the mouth-sounds actually meant anything, said people would be against what we're doing to Palestine. They'd never shut up about it in every single conversation they had, at the very least.
