[copying and pasting the same comment I wrote on Substack] Re: Other People Are Not As Worried About AI Killing Everyone
One of the issues here is a big branding failure of AI notkilleveryoneism—it sounds like AI might kill all humans but not do anything else, turning the whole Earth into one huge Polesie State Radioecological Reserve, though the actual most likely outcome would be it sterilizing the whole biosphere so “notkillevery*thing*ism” would be more precise. Lots of the misanthropic environmentalist types who would welcome the former would still be utterly terrified by the latter, so we’d better make it extra clear it’s the latter that we mean.
