| If AI researchers are wrong they're gonna have a lot of explaining to do. |

| TBH its far more likely they are wrong than right. Investors are incredibly overzealous to not miss out on what happened with certain stocks of the personal computing, web 2.0 and smartphone diffusion. |

| ▲ | catigula 3 days ago | parent [-] | | There's a certain anthropic quality to the idea that if we lived in a doomsday timeline we'd be unlikely to be here observing it. | | |
| ▲ | uoaei 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Humanist, maybe. The anthropic argument is tautological: nothing is a doomsday without there being someone for whom the scenario spells certain doom. | | |
| ▲ | catigula 2 days ago | parent [-] | | How is it tautological? Some form of it is the very basis of atheism. Doomsday timelines have lower numbers of observers. In all timelines where you are no longer an observer,i.e. all current doomsday timelines, your observation has ceased. | | |
| ▲ | uoaei 2 days ago | parent [-] | | To repeat myself: if there is no life to experience doom, then whatever happens still happens, but it is not "doom". In other words, doom is a moral construct. Morality only exists when a being draws a line between "good" and "bad", it is not a real thing that exists. | | |
