I am presenting this article as is, with almost no commentary on it. I don't necessarily agree with it, but I also don't necessarily disagree with it, either. I just find it interesting, no more and no less. Make of it what you will.
I suppose that I would probably fall under the "We deserve getting hit by an asteroid" bit, which I see less as misanthropy and more as poetic justice. That doesn't mean that I think we shouldn't take steps to prevent "unaligned superintelligent AI" from becoming a thing, though. (And, with that statement, I guess I just got myself into the queue to be tortured forever by Roko's basilisk. *eye roll*)
Just to note, I haven't seen Don't Look Up that is referenced heavily in this article, but now I think I might want to.
