By default, AI development is going to cause something worse than death to happen to enormous numbers of conscious beings. That something will then keep happening until the stars burn out. Even the most benign of existing power structures and institutions cannot prevent this. They simply don't have the right priorities, and in fact cannot have the right priorities. This issue occupies all of my attention at the moment. I would like to find common ground, express deeper commitments, or establish myself in factually grounded theory, but I don't think the future depends on me doing any of those things in the same way it depends on me taking strong prefigurative action. The good news is I don't have to make a mess to do this. The bad news is that the mess is coming. Prepare to live at least the remainder of the century within the winepress of the wrath of god.
