To be honest with you, sometimes things seem so shitty on a world level that I find myself entertaining the "if AGI is possible then let's risk the coin flip of extinction or greateness, I'm tired of all this status-quo bs"


Can't help but think people who want to dabble in this stuff should honestly be doing it on the moon or mars or something where I think a fair bit less can go wrong.

I know it's technically crazy sounding, but for all we know, Earth is the only place with biological life, I think it's better to flip the coin somewhere else if that's what you want to do. Don't screw up here.

Yes, maybe the AI will come for Earth, but I feel like there's less chance of shit going really bad with some distance.


This is indeed our very best shot at taking down global capitalism


Of course, doing it wrong is also the best shot to ensure capitalism eats the universe.
