    Sometimes I wonder if NASA discovered a world-ending asteroid, and they just aren’t telling us because there’s literally nothing to be done about it, but also all the reasonable people in positions of power have just stopped caring.

      I have a similar suspicion. But instead of an asteroid, it’s a critical global climate crisis. Like something that will cause a rapid chain reaction that will completely and quickly fuck the planet.

      I think we would try to launch nukes at it, actually that might actually get countries to get on the same page and cooperate together more. I’m pretty sure they know AI stuff is probably going to wreck the economy in 5-15 years with AGI.
