Call me crazy, but I’m much more scared of AI than I am of climate change 
AI is a true existential risk. Climate change isn't. So it's the right view to have. Most people will look back and wish they'd realized this....

Do you mean the kind of AI that exists already (bc it can be used to great effect by tyrants, for example) or do you mean “superintelligent AI”?

Artifical General Intelligence, which would level up to become Superintelligence very quickly.

Why do you think climate change isn't a true existential risk?

It won't wipe out every living human. Maybe hundreds of millions within a century, but not everyone.

@Evollaqi@MccluskyMark Agree with GMiller. Superintelligence (and anything NBostrom of FOH) is a strong rec. I also suggest a new podcast series- The End of The World w/@josh_um_clark from@SYSKPodcast. He examines humanity's existence as well as natural and human-made XRisks. -

My guess is that the side effects of a calamity that wiped out a couple hundred million people could be pretty nasty — and existentially threatening themselves.

if climate change accelerates and exacerbates the fight for resources in vulnerable parts of the world, it most definitely is an existential threat.
