it relies on a massive, unfounded assumption that AGI will somehow take over running the world within our lifetimes, which anyone who actually knows stuff about AI can easily identify as complete bullshit. it's like pascal's wager for really stupid dudes online who are convinced that they're geniuses. anyone spending time worrying about this scenario that's just a figment of a fevered imagination probably has some motivation to distract attention from the thousands of real and urgent problems that exist in the real world where people live

the guy who thought it up is also now a completely off-the-deep-end white supremacist and (even less surprisingly) AI doomer (of the hype variety, ie "it will be incredibly powerful not just some shitty capitalism amplifier") so it makes sense.

whole thing is a massive pit of intellectual punji sticks.

The only way I can handle hearing about it it is by assuming that belief in it is some kind of hoax. The idea that actual real people consider it any more serious than a creepypasta gives me incalculable psychic damage
