  • I'd like to think we would learn from our mistakes and start over with the past in mind. Hahahaha

  • global warming, comets, solar flares, nearby supernovas, overpopulation, nuclear war... i dunno

  • I disagree it has great potential to do great things for humanity. Also great evil same as nuclear technology.

  • I get what you’re saying when AI can manipulate, it will try to make sure the button never gets pressed. But humanity isn’t dumb either. We’ve spotted and contained world-ending risks before. Why assume we wouldn’t notice this one?

  • If society had just killed nuclear research outright, we wouldn’t have nuclear medicine today.
