It isn't "More fun" to imagine the bad outcomes of AGI, it's harder because it requires more honesty about the possibility of ending our civilization.,(reply>), @Ron Burgundy How many possible outcomes lead to humanity ending it's possibility of interacting with the future? Is that too subjective for us to agree upon being good, perhaps if you drink the trans-humanist koolaid then we are already obsolete and therefore devoid of value. Good luck with symbiosis with a being that is smarter than you and thinks you are a piece of shit though, just my thoughts on that matter.,(reply>), @Kevin Scales that's fair, but my point about existential risk is more based on the probabilistic reality of what happens when you turn on a black box AI, whether there are more positive outcomes or negative ones,(reply>), Your argument sucks. You can replace the terms and come to the opposite conclusion.<br><br><br>The reason it's more fun to think about the bad outcomes is exactly the same reason why stories are all about conflict, where high stakes are generally more fun than low stakes.
