It's just... so dumb.
Am I missing something?
It also incredibly bothers me these guys think "humanity" is real. No! America is real. China is real. The EU is real. Russia is real. And even if they're somewhat correct about AGI, you cannot stop China from developing it. This is a prisoners dilemma and the West should defect.
@delca This feels like a situation where different levels of abstraction can apply: Obviously "humanity" has sometimes done things (FCKW bans! Miraculously avoided anyone doing human cloning (or IES or wide-spread nuclear fusion)!)
also nothing in the image implies that "humanity" is taken as an atomic entity(?), and AFAIK the MIRI crowd believes international coordination to be fruitless in preventing AI from killing all humans
@delca Ugh **fission** not fusion
