AGI is an existential risk as much as climate change, but the discourse is totally fucked up. We should be articulating facts, promoting mutual understanding, and proposing workable policies, but we are talking fiction and nuclear exchange to stop AGI.

I think AGI is analogous to nuclear physics, which is both beneficial and destructive. But while I agree it entails some kind of supervision, it doesn’t mean I agree on the timeline and measures proposed by others (such as pausing research right now).

Climate change is already devastating our agriculture. AGI can help us adapting and find new ways to cope with the change. Why do you see agi as existential risk?

There is no going back or stopping human progress on innovation. We are fundamentally built to explore new frontiers. Personally, I think we can find much of the relevant answers to these issues in already established work on human rights and how we monitor the breaches of such rights.
