The ASI Extinction Debate Is the Opposite of What You Think

"The whole point of the Silicon Valley worldview is to build an ASI that will bring about a cosmic posthuman utopia. They want it to transform us into digital posthumans who can then colonize the universe....The only type of extinction that would permanently prevent the creation of a cosmic posthuman utopia is final extinction. The only reason we should avoid terminal extinction — the disappearance of our species — is that if terminal extinction were to happen tomorrow, it would entail final extinction.

But if terminal extinction were to happen after “worthy” digital posthumans arrive, then it wouldn’t entail final extinction. Since final extinction is the only way a cosmic utopia would be permanently expunged, TESCREALists care about terminal extinction only insofar as it would entail final extinction."

"once posthumans rule and run the world, Homo sapiens will become obsolete and irrelevant in every respect: technologically, scientifically, economically, and even politically. We will serve literally no purpose. (2) Even worse, we will continue to suck up resources that our “superior” posthuman successors could use “more efficiently” — for things like covering Earth in data centers (which Altman says is likely), building a Dyson swarm around the sun (as Demis Hassabis says will happen starting in the early 2030s), and spreading the light of digital consciousness to the stars (which all of them endorse)."
