The point is that even if the chances of [extinction by AGI] are extremely slim
the chances are zero. i don’t buy into the idea that the “probability” of some made-up cataclysmic event is worth thinking about as any other number because technically you can’t guarantee that a unicorn won’t fart AGI into existence which in turn starts converting our bodies into office equipment
It’s kind of like with the trinity nuclear test. Scientists were almost 100% confident that it wont cause a chain reaction that sets the entire atmosphere on fire
which is actually a fitting parallel for “AGI”, now that i think about it
EDIT: Alright, well this community was a mistake…
if you’re going to walk in here and diarrhea AGI Great Filter sci-fi nonsense onto the floor, don’t be surprised if no one decides to take you seriously

if you had done just a little bit of googling instead of repeating something you heard off of Oppenheimer, you would know this was basically never put forward as serious possibility (archive link)
