If we don’t solve alignment, then yeah it very well might be Terminator but really dumb and embarrassing while its happening and people deny its happening. I dont know if we are gonna have a robot apocalypse, but if we do I can guarantee its going to be incredibly fucking stupid.

Ok. Pretty sure any apocalypse is stupid lol.

Yeah there’s no such thing as the alignment problem. Shrug.

Knowing how utterly ridiculous things are now and how you can't write fiction as absurd as real life, because people would say its too out there and unrealistic, I think it will be a very special kind of stupid.

What do you mean there's no such thing as the alignment problem? People like Rob Miles talk about it all the time. Corrigibility will be a problem, I guarantee it.
