> Anyway, for now, none of that is happening, and we humans are the planetary super-intelligence in control. I’m a human and I’m doing my part. Let’s not play stupid with AI, let’s not give it a survival goal, let’s keep our digital systems safe and in human hands, and lets not trust a competing species we end up creating by accident.

i speculate that self preservation is an emergent property of consciousness/self awareness. if you understand life/existence and death/nonexistence, it seems natural to me that the next step is to optimize for existence.

Ill admit my extreme bias as a human.
