Date: September 16th, 2026 4:27 PM Author: S'mores-flavored cold brew (gunneratttt) You're very willing to trust the experts when it comes to COVID, climate change, etc and mock people here for dismissing concerns because they have a poor understanding. Yet in this situation you're doing the exact same thing.
How is this any different? |

Date: September 16th, 2026 7:16 PM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband ? I have a good understanding of the “extinction threat” posed by AI. It’s less than the other things I mentioned (which are low) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5904360&forum_id=2.#50138798) |

Date: September 16th, 2026 7:30 PM Author: S'mores-flavored cold brew (gunneratttt) This is really no different than Consuela claiming to have a good understanding of COVID an you know it. Slyly moving the goalposts to broadly understanding of the theory of the extinction threat versus expert opinons about it is like Consuela saying he understands what a pandemic is and that's how he knows it isn't one.

Date: September 16th, 2026 7:37 PM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband Can you link to some of the “expert opinions” describing the AI extinction threat, so that I can study them and learn? (Ideally the expert will describe the mechanism, rather than just saying “AI is crazy and we don’t know what will happen, so the end result is likely human extinction.”) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5904360&forum_id=2.#50138842) |

Did you see the part of my request where I said "Ideally the expert will describe the mechanism"?
I've got a climate extinction scenario that's equally terrifying: "And then when the climate crisis creates a feedback loop whereby the mean global temperature reaches 140F, humans will become extinct because we can't live at a mean temperature of 140F." |

Date: September 16th, 2026 8:45 PM Author: ........,,,,,,......,.,.,.,,,,,,,,,, This is all stupid.
AI is the only serious existential threat. We are trying (and seemingly on the path to succeeding) to creating a being far smarter and more intelligent than humans.
Nuclear war will not kill all humans. A disease naturally becomes less virulent to humans and burns out.
But even if humans "survive" super intelligent AI, are we really human anymore if we are essentially ants, living at the mercy of an entity far more intelligent and powerful than us? |

What a stupid line of argument. We literally are in the process right now of creating human robots. Drones are fighting wars as we speak.
If AI self improves itself to be 100x smarter than humans, do you really think it won't figure this shit out?
"We'll just unplug it." Well, it would be humans fighting with rocks and sticks versus super intelligent AI fighting with anything ever connected to the internet. Perhaps humans win now, but we won't 10 years from now when robots and drones are everywhere. |

Date: September 16th, 2026 9:00 PM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband First question is easy: People put on white suits and walk over to the hive and turn it upside down to pour the honey out (or something like that).
"We literally are in the process right now of creating human robots."
