By the way, I’m not here to troll, and I do have a serious question that doesn’t necessarily have to do with cryonics. The goal of SIAI (Lesswrong, etc) is to learn and possibly avoid a dystopian future. If you truly are worried about a dystopian future, then doesn’t that serve as a vote of “No confidence” for these initiatives?
Admittedly, I haven’t looked into your history, so that may be a “Well, duh” answer :)
Jack: “I’ve got the Super Glue for Yvain. I’m on my way back.”
Chloe: “Hurry, Jack! I’ve just run the numbers! All of our LN2 suppliers were taken out by the dystopia!”
Freddie Prinze Jr: “Don’t worry, Chloe. I made my own LN2, and we can buy some time for Yvain. But I’m afraid the others will have to thaw out and die. Also, I am sorry for starring in Scooby Doo and getting us cancelled.”
- Jack blasts through wall, shoots Freddie, and glues Yvain back together -
Jack: “Welcome, Yvain. I am an unfriendly A.I. that decided it would be worth it just to revive you and go FOOM on your sorry ass.”
