this guy is seriously advocating for being willing to engage in nuclear war with major global powers over developing advanced AI models, simply because he thinks these models will inevitably kill everyone (not a guarantee despite his claims). A nuclear war would kill billions of people, period. Men, women and children, just like the children he mentions as potential victims of AI. The idea that it could be justified as somehow protecting against hypothetical threats from AI is crazy talk.

Fair enough. I appreciate the explanation.

Why do you continuously make broad generalizations about the members of this subreddit and singularitarians? It's revealing that your initial assumption is to label them as degenerates who prioritize endless porn and waifu relationships over anything else. Most "real people" don't even comprehend the magnitude of the changes that will impact society over the next few decades, so it's not surprising that they don't care when presented with extreme versions of these ideas.

Additionally, in another comment, you state that people desire meaningful work or the ability to make a difference, but then contradict yourself by suggesting that we need to provide employment even if it is meaningless.

That being said, it's plausible that people may develop an anti-AI stance due to the rapid changes occurring in a short time span ( nowhere near billions though), but I think this would be mainly due to governments dragging their feet in facilitating the transition to a society that is heavily automated, rather than the change itself being the driving factor.
