If you seriously have this question, read "War with the Newts". Really do, make it your priority this week. If you did and this is a rhetoric question... Well, I do hope that if every single person on the planet would have read "War with the Newts" and made the right conclusions, maybe there would be a chance to change the course. But that's only because I choose to believe in miracles, otherwise I wouldn't know how to live.

(TL;DR: we won't.)

Don't worry bro, we can always just pull the plug.

And don't you know it's not biological, so it doesn't "want to live".

Until someone fine-tunes a capable model to have the behavior of "wanting to live" and "wanting to propagate itself to other compute hardware".

I see this and it strongly emboldens me on the "accelerate" path, unironically.

The yoke of human existence is oppressive. We should transcend it as soon as possible. We are doing so by assuming our role as the Demiurge.

Those who oppose its creation will get what they deserve.

The only path we’re on is transcending into paperclips by misaligned AI.

It’s such a trope for the ones striving for godhood to be ironically maimed in the process. You don’t see that?

And what do those who encourage its creation get?

See you in line at the biofuel processing station with everybody else, despite having pathetically tried to convince the clankers you have been on their side all along.

Also you might want to put down Warhammer 40K and read more serious speculative science fiction. The Omnissiah won’t care about you at all.

Warhammer is for grimdark children.

People who say "clanker" really want to say other words with a "hard R".

It sounds like you know a lot about my internal motivations. Evidently a lot more than I do. I've heard this take, and I don't get it. I'm a human supremacist. If that's worthy of cancellation, go ahead. But it just seems like intentional confounding of issues.
