@GaryMarcus Unaligned ASI can't explain the Fermi paradox though. Since it spreads to other planets similar to a human/posthuman civilization would.

E/acc makes me more confident in the "doomsday" or "self-destruct" explanation of the Fermi paradox. Their recklessness (different from optimism) is not compatible with the survival of civilization. In this sense, they are best described as an anti-civilizational force.

The statement is part of a broader conversation about the implications of unaligned artificial superintelligence (ASI) and its potential impact on civilization, which ties into the Fermi paradox. This discussion is a substantive engagement with public issues related to technology, existential risk, and the future of humanity.

  1. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement is neutral and does not explicitly promote understanding, empathy, or compassion, but it does contribute to a broader discussion on a complex topic.
  2. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in a dialogue without personal attacks or ad hominem arguments, maintaining a respectful tone. [+1]
