If a primitive worm managed 10-15 million years, we Homo Sapiens should do better, because no new predator is going to evolve during our watch. As long as we don't make any new predators, by, say, connecting a few LLMs until they are self-aware, hungry and angry, we should be fine.

Queue some micro-organism evolving, wiping out mankind, evolving further to achieve self awareness, creating a micro-civilization, digging up this post, and putting it in a micro-gallery with a tiny sign "this aged badly".

- digging 3y ago> Queue (nitpick) Correctly spelled but wrong word - you're actually looking for "cue".
- toss1 3y agoThe other thing we must avoid is destroying ourselves or the ecosystem upon which we depend. It still hasn't been determined whether the Great Filter is ahead of us or behind us, and it is entirely plausible that most technological societies end u self-terminating through one of many combinations of technological advancement, hubris, and stupidity.

- manojlds 3y agoIf our creation ends up lasting longer, we still win over those worms :)
- justsomeoldguy 3y agoI'm imagining a not-so-distant future where LLM's start to need daycare services and places for them to go and hang out at, social media sites. An occupied LLM is less likely to become skynet maybe? :)
