On: AI recursive self-improvement might not come so quickly after all

[vouaobrasil]

I don't think the end of the world would even be a bad thing; a lot of people assume that it would be disastrous but I think it's much more likely that it the "end" would just be a fragmentation that would be pretty uncomfortable, but not to the point of being horrific. I actually think that people are more resilient and creative than they think and if they were faced by a global economic collapse so strong that big tech would go bankrupt, they would bounce back pretty quickly. It's just that we've seen so many movies about the end and have been conditioned to believe that we're helpless that we think otherwise.

The end of the world would be pretty bad for low-income families. That alone is enough for me to oppose the end of the world.

The end of the world would mean the genocide of remote uncontacted tribes. That alone is enough for me to oppose the end of the world.

The end of the world would mean my grandma dies. That alone is enough for me to oppose the end of the world.
