> It's a hail mary dash towards AGI. If we get computers to think for us, we can solve a lot of our most pressing issues.

All but one of them simultaneously, in fact. The one being left out: wanting to keep existing.

What are you talking about? AGI is practically a prerequisite for transhumanism, and, well, not dying.

If you want to "keep existing" AGI happening is probably your only hope.

		Aligned AGI, yes. Unaligned AGI is a fast way to die. If you want to keep existing, slow down, make sure AGI is aligned first, and go into cryo if necessary. If you don't want to keep existing, that doesn't mean you get to risk the rest of us.
