IMO there's no point in average people worrying about something like that.

That's like worrying about the Yellowstone supervolcano erupting.

No matter how much you worry and prepare, it's all over, so why worry or prepare?

IMO it's like a doomsday prepper. Sure you may live a little longer in your bunker, but who even wants to live like that for very long?

I am actually not worried about my situation. ASI is unlikely to arrive that soon.

HN is a place for nerds to discuss technology and its future impact. Nothing has more disruptive potential than AI.

"Governments worldwide (e.g., US AI Executive Order, UK AI Safety Summit, EU AI Act), international organizations (UN), leading AI researchers (including pioneers like Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio who have voiced strong concerns), major tech companies, and dedicated research institutes (like the Future of Life Institute, Machine Intelligence Research Institute, Centre for the Study of Existential Risk) are actively discussing, researching, and debating the implications and safety of advanced AI."

"If ASI concentrates wealth and power in the hands of those who own or control it, while simultaneously rendering most human labor economically valueless, the resulting inequality could dwarf historical examples based on land, capital, or industrial technology ownership. It raises fundamental questions about resource distribution and societal structure in a post-labor world."
