My personal worst case scenarios include dying in the next 25 or 30 years as a normal consequence of human old age. Perhaps accelerated scientific development from advanced AIs is my only hope of living longer, at this point.
I just can't imagine that the best way forwards is to throw another potentially dangerous crisis into the mix?
So while all these super bright people might be working on renewable energy and nuclear, they're working on AI, which has so far shown little zero chance of giving us an answer to a problem we likely already know how to solve?
I don't blame people for wanting to try, I just don't buy this whole desperation narrative, "If we don't do more AI, we're all dead anyway"? What?
