Doesn't everyone believe that, on some timeline, we will cure all of these things? Like if I said within a million years, you'd be hard-pressed to find a serious doubter.
Dario just thinks he's going to build ASI and ASI will solve them more-or-less instantly. I believe an ASI would do that, as well.
So by my logic, naysayers really just don't think we're about to build ASI. Dario does. I figure he has a better perspective. But we're not arguing about solving all of that stuff, we're arguing about whether ASI can do it, and whether we're on the cusp of ASI

Humanity may well be extinct a million years hence. The average mammalian species appears to last ~1-2 million years.
Just do not feed that vague reward signal in their AGI training run because combined with Amodei & bros being firmly in the war hawk paranoid anti-China camp they can make us and our diseases all relics of the past just to prevent offline local inference with chinese open weight models.
