Somewhere in all this it is crazy that the choice could be between a US company creating an AI that could doom civilization or letting China create the AI that dooms civilization. Do we want to be the first to "summon the demon" in our own fashion or let China manifest it first. Not saying this is the choice, but it would be a crazy dillema, albeit easy choice imo, if it was.

nothing is dooming civilization. These takes are so dumb. Civilization exists because humans want to reproduce.

I don't see it either, but there are folks smarter than both of us that disagree.

		"Folks smarter than us" sometimes start from really weird starting points. Their logic from their may be flawless, better than we can do, but if their starting point is wrong, who cares? They aren't going to get wrong answers anyway. They're just going to go further extrapolating the logical consequences of the wrong starting point, and that's not really any more useful than a stupid person doing it.
