@AbstractFairy I mean, opposition underpins the system, so it's needed somewhere, but more rational agents (on both sides) would literally never let it get there. You're starting at poor tradeoffs, so it's to you how you want to tiebreak

@AbstractFairy And yeah, if one guy has more worldpower, they usually get more votingpower

@AbstractFairy No, not quite because it prevents fights. More like "it's the system which needs no fight".

@AbstractFairy No, voting is because it approximates who would win a fight (the side with more people). It cashes out straight in revolution

The whole point of an apocalypse cult is that it offers you personally a seat on the space ship out. Those of us warning about destruction via AGI have no such offer; either everyone is saved including those who mock us, or no-one is.

While I'm on the subject: has anyone ever heard of a religion in which the apocalypse might potentially be averted altogether if we can just do some difficult task?

@andrew @ciphergoth Your friends say only the AI safety people will be saved or they say that only the AI safety people will be doing the saving? The question is about the former, not latter.
