It sounds like maybe you're saying: "It's not scientifically valid to suggest that AGI could kill everyone until it actually does so. At that point we would have sufficient evidence." Am I stating your position accurately? If so, can you see why others might find this approach unappealing?
- nradov 3y agoAn alien invasion could kill everyone. We should build giant space lasers just in case. Safety first!
- 0xDEAFBEAD 3y agoAliens who invaded would most likely have technology much more advanced than ours. I doubt our space lasers would be of much use. Additionally, AI advances in recent years have been unprecedented, and there's no similarly compelling warning sign for alien invasion.
