Worse than extinction?

Worse than extinction?
- icantevenhold 19d agoThere are worse fates than extinction, for example living forever, for I have no mouth and I must scream
- solenoid0937 19d agoI dunno, being a Culture Mind sounds pretty damn good. Or even just a death-optional citizen in the Culture.
- taneq 19d agoThe Culture isn’t perfect but it seems like the best possible outcome. I think I’d want to be a fast picket and hang out with Special Circumstances.
- afthonos 19d agoAgreed. Ellison’s path to that future went through AI.
- chrisco255 18d agoIs it really hard for you to imagine that enshrining a cartel and wedding the government to it, centralizing AI even more than it already is, is actually the path that leads to the doomsday scenario you imagine?
- afthonos 14d agoIt’s not, that’s definitely one path to doom. But everyone racing as fast as possible is another, far surer, path to doom. We should avoid both.
