I again don’t consider this a helpful thing to say on a sinking ship when somebody is trying to organize passengers getting to the lifeboats.
Especially if your definition of “AI takeover” is such as to include lots of good possibilities as well as bad ones; maybe the iceberg rockets your ship to the destination sooner and provides all the passengers with free iced drinks, who can say?
Hmm, my sense is Holden was meaning “AI Takeover” roughly in the “AI Ruin” sense, and as such the lower bound here did seem like a helpful thing to say (while I found this upper bound a weirdly unhelpful thing to say).
Like, I think if asked to operationalize Holden at the time would have clarified that by “AI Takeover” he means something that is really bad and catastrophic by his lights.
