Yudkowsky has been saying all this for decades

  He sounds like Ted Kaczynski, but a respectable version of him. It has been odd seeing how Kaczynski's thought and philosophy has become more and more mainstream among some people. I never thought I'd see the day.

    Is it odd? Ted was a very intelligent math professor whiz. He thought that machines and industrial society was becoming a negative for humanity. Was he right? How many threads on HN have we been having about highly increasing depression, anxiety, hopelessness, deaths of despair, falling fertility, now possible mass unemployment, and real existential threats from AGI? If he was right and didn't do what he did, would anyone be reading and digesting those facts and considering stopping the madness? Trolley problem.

      Yes it’s odd because he’s a mentally ill murderer with several issues. It’s not technologies fault that people have poor values which have created meaningless lives of unfulfilled material extravagance for themselves.
