People who are "worried about alignment" may as well worry about space aliens eating us all for breakfast. Worrying about a super-AI that does not exist and never will because it is physically and logically impossible is dumb. There are tons of real problems with AI. Worry about those, not what if God is real but He wants to make us into a very large paperclip.

- NumberWangMan 3y agoOk, please don't accuse those you disagree with of arguing in bad faith. Maybe a few do, but I think most don't, and it's not good for productive discussion. I honesty believe that people who argue against worrying about AGI risk do so because they do not think it is a real risk, and think that it distracts from more important things. I disagree, I do think the risk is real, but I don't think that you have a hidden agenda in dismissing it. We all want humanity to have a good future, to solve problems and to not have people suffer, right? It's normal and ok to disagree about things like this, especially when predicting the future is so hard. People even disagree a lot about problems that exist today.
