What I don’t understand is why people are so worried about AI wiping out humanity when the biggest threat to humanity is from ourselves?
I mean, thinking about it for one second is enough time to realize that the threat from other humans and the weapons we’ve invented is orders of magnitude more dangerous to us than this theoretical AGI which doesn’t exist and may not exist for a very long time.
Well, sure that AGI might be created and it might be malevolent, but I’m more worried about you know, Putin starting a war in Europe and Donald Trump becoming President again, Kim Jong Un nuking Seoul, Xi invading Taiwan etc, all of which could lead to World Wars and all of which seem much more likely than AGI appearing and killing us all.
