Humanity may well be extinct a million years hence. The average mammalian species appears to last ~1-2 million years.
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
