I didn’t say that “cryonics is better than nothing”, I said I think it has decent odds of success. To spell it out, I think the success probability is higher than the increased probability of friendly AI in my lifetime from acceleration(which is the relevant comparison) while imposing fewer costs on future generations. And I think that if you made it your life’s work, you could probably improve those odds, up to 80% perhaps(conditional on future people wanting to revive you)
