        Hey, we'll destroy ourselves one way or another. AI is as good as any.

        What if it's already a done deal, and we are living in a simulation?

        that's not the question though, nor does it answer it.

        If we were a simulation created by AI it would make the question moot.

        not moot at all. Because we would be creating a simulated AI in the simulation. Question still stands.

        We don't even exist because we are a simulation that the AI created. Lara Croft really doesn't die in Tomb Raider.

        For AI to outwit us in game-theoretic terms, it has to be able to read/understand our preferences, so it can optimize them too

        This, itself, can be one of its core objective functions.

        On consciousness and AI, we may be able to make 'conscious' AI that can't suffer extraneously.

        .@SamHarrisOrg Ftr, I am one who worries quite a bit about economic concerns. I think a universal basic income may be our only chance.

        Short-to-almost-medium term: Job guarantee. Medium-term: UBI. Long-term: Post-scarcity

        The main reason I favor UBI is because it can be implemented immediately in an emergency.

        I get that but a job guarantee is a better solution before the AI revolution, which is why I said short-to-medium
