"Three days after the article was published, someone asked Yudkowsky on social media: “How many people are allowed to die to prevent AGI?” His response was: “There should be enough survivors on Earth in close contact to form a viable reproductive population, with room to spare, and they should have a sustainable food supply. So long as that’s true, there’s still a chance of reaching the stars someday.”"

@timnitGebru @BlackAzizAnansi How is this shit even tolerated in academia? It’s the stupidest philosophy I’ve ever heard of. It hand waves away economics and, more importantly, physics. It’s not an interesting concept or a coherent philosophy. It’s idiotic Sci Fi fantasies. We’re not gonna colonize the damn stars. Escapism is fine but why would any of these people be allowed on a college campus?
@codybrumfield @timnitGebru @BlackAzizAnansi Because it seems to be rich peoples #escapism. You got rich by pure damn luck, while believing "I am rich, I must be a genius" and currently you are realizing that you have no fucking clue what is going on and the world you knew is dying.
