The bigger question is whether we will achieve usefully aligned AGI. And the biggest question is what we can do.
Ease your mind! Worries will not help. Enjoy the sunshine and the civilization while we have it, don’t take it all on your shoulders, and just do something to help!
As Sarah Connor said:
NO FATE
We are not in her unfortunately singular shoes. It does not rest on our shoulders alone. As most heroes in history have, we can gather allies and enjoy the camaraderie and each day.
On a different topic, I wish you wouldn’t call yourself a failed scifi author or a failed anything. I hope it’s in jest or excessive modesty. Failure is only when you give up on everything or are dead. I think there is much to accomplish in writing good fiction. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Changing directions isn’t failing either; it’s changing strategy, hopefully as a result of learning.
Yeah- calling myself a failed scifi writer really was half in jest- had some very limited success as an indie writer for a good number of years, and recently need has made me shift direction. Thank you for the encouragement, though!
I agree with everything you’ve said there.
