A rough timeline of my list of "what will end humanity" candidates:
1990 -- nanotechnology
2005 -- rogue AI
2015 -- bio-weapons
2022 -- fake news/truth-indeterminability
- pastafarianism 3y agothe article is saying we're not ready for an ai information world, not that it will end humanity. also, all the candidates you've listed are valid we're just not there yet. some things change gradually until they change suddenly.
- gcanyon 3y agoThe years were when I concluded it was possible they would eventually end humanity, not the year I thought it would happen. And regarding fake news/lack of truth determinability -- I'm not summarizing the article, I'm offering my own opinion. In the worst case, we could lose modern humanity if we reach a point where no one can determine the truth.
